A multi-layered plan to ensure the safety of all
23 August 2021, Los Angeles: Today, the GSMA shared details of the health and safety plan for MWC Los Angeles scheduled to take place Oct 26-28, 2021. The organization is grateful for the partnership of the City of Los Angeles, LA Tourism Board, Los Angeles Convention Center and, Joffe Emergency Services in delivering this year's event safely.
As Covid-19 remains a critical planning consideration, the GSMA continues to monitor global and national circumstances seeking expert advice and incorporating local health authority guidance in this dynamic situation. The health and safety of our exhibitors, attendees, staff, and the people of Los Angeles remain the top priority.
The plan incorporates a layered approach leveraging the successful delivery of MWC Barcelona 2021 this past June, the world's first large scale event to come together globally since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. The experience and execution of MWC21 forms the basis of Committed Community MWCLA, tailored for current and local circumstances.
