30 September 2022, MWC Las Vegas: The GSMA has successfully concluded the first edition of MWC Las Vegas, in partnership with CTIA, which once again showed that MWC is the place to do business. The North America edition of the MWC series hosted 8,200 attendees, doubling the number of participants from last year's event in LA. Attendees from nearly 100 countries convened with more than 300 exhibiting companies, as well as over 300 conference and partner speakers.
It is wonderful to bring MWC to the vibrant city of Las Vegas and to witness first-hand the excitement, energy, and enthusiasm among our community. During these past three days we have seen important conversations about technologies, innovations and policies, and the impact they have on business and society, said John Hoffman, CEO GSMA Ltd. On behalf of the GSMA, I would like to thank all our attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and partners who came together to make MWC Las Vegas so productive and successful.
We are delighted to share the dates for the next edition of MWC Las Vegas which will take place from 26 - 28 September 2023.
