Onsite Exhibitor Support

The GSMA and Fira Barcelona have been using for the past few years a digital support system for exhibitors and
contractors at MWC. This system has improved how we manage exhibitor and contractor needs, eliminating the need
for in-person visits to the Exhibitor Service Desk, streamlining processes, and making everything more.
