What about the airport?
It’s called Barcelona-El Prat Airport.
It’s located 12 km southwest of Barcelona’s city centre.
I bet you didn’t know but this airport is the second busiest and second largest airport in Spain.
Moreover, it’s the seventh busiest in Europe, because Barcelona is a tremendously cool city that keeps on attracting new visitors every single day.
In 2016, the airport handled a record-breaking 44.1 million passengers!
That’s a whole lotta folks, bro!
Wanna go from the airport to Barcelona’s city centre?

2. I’m Here! Now, What?
Now that you’re in Barcelona, there’s a couple of things you should get done.
First, make sure you stack some cash.
The currency used in Spain is the Euro.
It’s also used in 19 other countries which are part of the European Union, including Portugal and France (Spain’s territorial neighbors.)
How much is the Euro worth, you ask?

Wondering about prices because you fear Barcelona is gonna be super expensive?

Now that you’ve become acquainted with some important facts, it’s time for you to start thinking about your sleeping arrangements.
Hotels!
This will be a busy time in Barcelona.
Why?
Two reasons:
The first reason is that Barcelona is always busy, since there are millions of tourists walking about every day.

4. The Event: What’s the Story?
Mobile World Congress is one of the world’s most important and best-loved events.
It’s actually the biggest exhibition for the mobile industry.
It’s also a remarkably awesome conference which always manages to feature super important executives representing the biggest mobile operators, device manufacturers, vendors, content owners, and tech providers from all over this green earth.
It’s organized by GSMA, a trade body which represents the interests of mobile network operators all over the globe.
The GSMA was founded in 1995 and the first Mobile World Congress event was held in 2009, nine years ago.
The event usually takes place from late February until early March.
The date of this year’s Mobile World Congress?
February 26th until March 1st.
The event has been held in Catalonia’s famous city since 2006.
Before that, Mobile World Congress was held in Cannes, France.
Wondering how many people actually show up on a yearly basis?
The annual attendance is something like 100.000 people.
Moreover, you can expect to see people from 208 countries, more than 400 operator companies, 10.000 operator attendees, 2.300 exhibitors, etc.
Thinking about possible speakers?
You can be psyched about listening to the Founder and Chairman of GSMA, Sunil Bharti Mittal, or McAfee’s CEO, Christopher Young, or even Rajeev Misra, the CEO of SoftBank Vision Fund.
This is the elite of the game!
Can you possibly miss this tremendously important occasion for digital marketers to get together and talk about technology?
Of course not!

Let’s pretend the event is done.
