Will Mobile World Congress Be the First Big in-person Trade Show Since Started COVID?

Mobile World Congress (MWC)—the biggest show of the wireless industry—is planning to welcome 50,000 people to Barcelona in late June. The GSM Association (GSMA), which organizes the show, says all attendees will need to provide a negative COVID-19 test and repeat that test every 72 hours.

The show would be held from June 28 through July 1.
