founder and president of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, will be the star of the upcoming Mobile World Congress, MWC, to be held in Barcelona between 24th and 27th February. Predictably, the event will mark its next edition in a new record of visitors, 75,000 (3,000 more than last year) and exhibitors, 1,800.
lounge will be a greatest claim on mobile accessories like watches and bracelets, and in the debate on the entry of large software companies as Google and Microsoft in traditional handset makers, as Nokia and Motorola.
Besides Zuckerberg will participate in the MWC president of IBM, Virginia Rommety and CEO of Whatsapp, Jan Koum. In total, 240 speakers in 44 sessions in a ceremony attend 80 ministers and heads of state.
After moving in last year at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via de L’Hospitalet, this year some of the organized events will fill the historic halls of Fira on Avenida Maria Cristina. “Perhaps it is very risky, because you can grow and adventures diluirte” said John Hoffman, head of the organization of the event.
According to an independent report commissioned by GMA, the Mobile World Congress this year will have an economic impact of 356 million euros, creating 7,220 part-time jobs. Are much higher than the calculated figures last year, when they were about 300 million.
Hoffman explained that the biggest problem last year was detected in the transport, so this year there have been meetings to try to improve links with the Government Railways, buses and taxis. Hoffman has even ironically to the works of the Metro Line 9, which will have a station on the site of exposure: “I hope that in my lifetime end up”
.
Another attempt to resolve problems is that of the options and the location of exhibitors. All these problems could be solved in part by a new application developed especially for congress.
