Join us as we step once again into the busiest mobile trade show on the planet!
Tomorrow most of us will arrive in what is sometimes called the most fun city in the world — Barcelona — for a grueling week of work interspersed with a few carafes of cheap vino tinto. Barca will, as ever, be looming presence during the next seven days with its imposing Gothic spires, twinned with playful post-modern architecture.
Walk with us as we tread with an estimated 95,000 attendees — according to the GSMA — into the wireless fray. We will be pacing the many halls of Fira de Barcelona Gran Via in search of the latest artifical intelligence (AI) trinket.

TechInsights analysts such as Waseem Haider will be at MWC examining IoT — and probably the role that AI will have in controlling IoT supply chains in the near future.
neXT Curve’s Leonard Lee, meanwhile, is already producing videos about the mobile jamboree, well ahead of opening day.
