Transform your networking at MWC Barcelona

Grow your networking opportunities in an environment built to facilitate powerful connections and get business done.

Networking on another level

There’s nowhere on the planet like MWC Barcelona to meet senior decision makers from across the global connectivity ecosystem. All the people and brands you’ve been trying to connect with all year – together in one place, discussing the future’s biggest opportunities.

That’s why attendees achieve 12 months of meetings in just four days.

Where conversations go further

Some of the most valuable connections at MWC26 Barcelona happen after the applause dies down. 

For the first time this year, select sessions will be followed by curated, invite-only networking, bringing Leaders Conference Pass and VIP Pass holders together with the speakers shaping the discussion. These small-group conversations are designed for depth, not scale, creating space for meaningful exchange, fresh thinking and real business opportunities. 

Details on how to apply to take part will be shared soon.

Access is exclusive to Leaders Conference Pass and VIP Pass holders.
