25 June 2023, Shanghai: The GSMA today hosted a press conference ahead of MWC Shanghai 2023 led by the GSMA's Mats Granryd, Director General; Lara Dewar, Chief Marketing Officer and Sihan Bo Chen, Head of Greater China. Now in its 10th year, MWC Shanghai will take place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) 28-30 June 2023, including nearly 300 exhibitors, sponsors and partners.
The press conference is available to view on the MWC Shanghai Press Zone.
Nothing beats MWC in person, and we are delighted to be back in Shanghai to celebrate 10 years, it's a chance to see the latest connectivity solutions unveiled by our exhibitors and sponsors. As a technology hub in China, the world's biggest mobile market, Shanghai is the natural host city for MWC in Asia. We are hugely grateful for the continued support of Shanghai and our partners and hosts, said Mats Granryd.
