2020 was not a prolific year for several initiatives, including the Mobile World Congress (MWC). Along with this prestigious four days dedicated to technology, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) had a decline, softened however by a virtual event always on a global scale that allowed companies to present new products anyway. So the question is only one: this year the MWC 2021 will be held or not? He answers this question directly John Hoffman, CEO of the GSM Association that organizes the whole event. Let's go and see then how and when the event will take place.
The Mobile World Congress (MWC 2021) will be held this summer and will be held in person, always respecting the basic rules of distancing: here are the details
The largest telephony fair, held annually in the city of Barcelona, It was supposed to start next week. But the coronavirus has upset plans, delaying the fair until further notice. This new notice came yesterday: John Hoffman, CEO of the GSM Association said is this year the MWC 2021 will be held and will be live. Contrary to what happened for CES 2021, this other major technology fair will be in attendance. obviously there will be a lot of stakes: this is how the fair will be organized.
For starters, MWC 2021 will be held from the 28 June to the 1 July, therefore this summer. Differently from before, however, we should not expect huge crowds: the association that takes care of the organization has said that there will be between 40.000 and 50.000 guests at most. This means one reduced capacity, with a consequent lower risk of contagions and dangers of any kind. In addition to this the GSM has confirmed that the strictest anti-covid security rules will be in force: all those who want to access must have made a COVID-19 test within a maximum period of 72 hours before entering.

Obviously, the use of masks is mandatory but the bulk of the work will have to be done especially by those who are in the stands. Insiders will deal with disinfect surfaces as often as necessary, ensuring that the risk of contagion is minimized. All good, but are there any cons?
Doubtless not all companies will decide to participatedespite invitations. We have to see which ones will agree to go to this important fair. What is certain is that, on the other hand, the presence at this year's MWC 2021 will be very important.
