MWC Barcelona is the GSMA’s annual exhibition and conference for the connectivity industry: mobile operators, device makers, network and cloud suppliers, AI businesses and enterprise technology buyers. The GSMA says the next edition brings together over 100,000 decision makers. The start-up event 4YFN runs alongside.
The 2027 edition
The official site lists 1 to 4 March 2027 at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona. Registration of interest was open when checked. A new Connect Health programme for healthcare and technology leaders launches at MWC27 and 4YFN in partnership with Mobile World Capital.
Planning notes
- Fira Gran Via has eight connected halls. Group meetings by hall and leave time to walk between them.
- Price accommodation at the same time as your pass, since city rates during the event affect the total cost; see planning an overseas exhibition budget.
- MWC26 was the 20th anniversary edition, so organiser statistics from 2026 describe a different edition from the one you are planning.
