Once again Barcelona becomes the city for the future of Mobile. The GSMA announced that the Mobile World Congress is to stay in the city as part of the on-going renovation until 2023. Also, the recent GSMA infographic chart highlights new statistics from 2015 showing a carbon neutral congress for two years making it the largest carbon neutral event globally, including 378 tons of recycling. Something to be proud of.

Dates: For this year dates have been confirmed February 22nd – 25th 2016 at Fira Barcelona, Gran Via.
