Global Events Planning

After a flood of exhibitor and attendee cancellations, Mobile World Congress has canceled its February event.

Prolonged quarantines in China could choke off product and apparel availability, possibly for months.

Late February’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, has lost some of its biggest exhibitors. But show management is making 15 policy, training, and hygiene changes to safeguard the 100,000-person show.

Travel restrictions and concerns create a fast-changing environment for meeting executives.
