\tThe GSMA struck a deal to hold Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona until 2024, extending a contract with city partners after being forced to cancel its 2020 conference.<\/p>\n

An earlier agreement announced in 2015 designated Barcelona as MWC\u2019s host city until 2023.<\/p>\n

In a statement, GSMA Ltd CEO John Hoffman said the extension reflects the association\u2019s \u201ccommitment to our ecosystem as well as the host city parties, and our strong and mutually beneficial working relationship\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added all parties involved are looking forward to future editions of MWC, noting the 2021 event \u201cwill be part of the economic recovery process as we exit these trying times\u201d.<\/p>\n

In February, the GSMA scrapped MWC Barcelona 2020 [1] due to health and safety concerns related to the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. It subsequently unveiled a financial package [2] offering full refunds for attendee tickets, and the option of either cash back or booking credits for exhibitors.<\/p>\n

Speaking in March, Hoffman said the credit option was intended to incentivise larger vendors to return to the show in coming years.<\/p>\n

He provided an update in the extension announcement, stating \u201cwe have had tremendous support and early commitment with many exhibitors for future editions\u201d.<\/p>\n
