Last week’s 2018 Mobile World Congress Americas, which was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, attracted 22,000 attendees, up by 1,000 compared to last year when it was held in San Francisco.
“This year’s show builds on the success of last year’s inaugural event, with a higher number of senior-level attendees from the mobile ecosystem, as well as adjacent industries such as media and entertainment,” said John Hoffman, CEO, GSMA Ltd. “Feedback from participating companies indicates that Mobile World Congress Americas delivered on their goals of developing new business, promoting new technologies and products and building visibility amongst industry influencers. We are really pleased with our first event here in LA and look forward to extending this in 2019.”
