Organizers of Mobile World Congress – the world’s largest show of mobile equipment and technologies – officially announced that they are canceling the event which was supposed to take place on February 24-27 at Barcelona . The main event of the industry is held annually and attracts hundreds of thousands of participants and visitors.
Participating companies spend millions of dollars on space, transportation and deployment of personnel and equipment, and so on. So the cancellation Of The Mobile congress can be a serious financial blow for the GSM Association, the organization that has been holding this show since 2006.
In any case, GSMA decided that public safety was more important.
Taking care of a safe and healthy environment in Barcelona and the host country as a whole, GSMA canceled the MWC Barcelona 2020. The concern raised worldwide by the outbreak of coronavirus, travel problems, and other circumstances make it impossible for the event to take place, says an official statement by the organizers.
Recall that earlier dozens of companies canceled their participation in MWC 2020. Among them are the world’s largest brands – Sony, Ericsson, HMD, Intel, LG, Nokia, Facebook, Amazon, NTT Docomo and others.
