Mobile World Congress show report - 8 things we learned
1. It can snow in Barcelona!
Since the venue has quite a few areas that are located outside — there’s many outdoor “networking gardens” where you can grab a coffee, sit down, and have a conversation — the snow was a bit of an issue. Many people stayed indoors, resulting in many busy areas and fewer relaxing moments in the sun. We’re looking forward to a dry congress again in 2019!
2. Mobile industry still growing
MWC attendees Over 110K people attended the show this year. While everyone seems to own a smartphone or two already, and growth has slowed, the mobile industry is still clearly growing.
We’re a company that’s 100% focused on intelligent camera processing, so we don’t run into every company that targets the mobile industry, but when walking the show floor, it’s still daunting how big the industry is. There’s many companies with huge and what must be very expensive booths who’s names we’ve never ever heard off. There are billions of smartphones in the world, all talking to the internet and with each other, creating more powerful connections every day. This is a big industry and nowhere is this more apparent than at the Mobile World Congress.
