- Mobile communications innovations are presented every year at the Mobile World Congress (MWC).
- The event had to be canceled in 2020 due to the corona pandemic. In 2021 it did not take place in spring as usual, but only in summer.
- As usual, the MWC is scheduled to start in Barcelona at the end of February this year – with an audience.
The Mobile World Congress (MWC) is one of the largest trade fairs in the mobile communications industry. New mobile phones and other devices from different manufacturers are often presented there. In 2020 the fair was canceled due to the corona pandemic, last year it only took place in a reduced form, which is why the organizers are doing everything they can this year to ensure that there is an MWC 2022.
According to the organizers, “they are always responding to the latest information regarding the pandemic situation” and “the team is busy preparing for MWC Barcelona, which is scheduled to take place at the end of February,” the organizer told TechRadar. It had previously been announced that the E3 games fair would only take place digitally in 2022.
Changes possible at short notice
The estimated start date is February 28th and the end is scheduled for March 3rd. However, there may still be changes at short notice. For example, the CES 2022 in Las Vegas was shortened by one day at short notice. Shortly before the start of the trade fair, companies such as Google, Amazon, OnePlus, Lenovo, Microsoft, Nvidia and Intel decided not to be present and moved their trade fair show to the Internet.
When the MWC 2019 took place, more than 100,000 visitors came to the fair during this period. It remains to be seen how many there will be this year. In order to be able to take part in the fair in person, proof of vaccination and a negative corona test are required to minimize the risk.
