Mobile Nights, Mobile Lights – Your MWC 2019 Party Line Up!

Ran Avrahamy Feb 03, 2019

Hola señoras y señores! 2019 is upon us and already in full swing! Which Super Bowl ad will reign supreme and dominate watercooler gossip this year? Will Asia survive another holiday (and family!) marathon as they ring in the Lunar New Year? Will I finally thaw off after a long winter? I don’t know, honestly, only psychics, the House of Stark, and groundhogs hold the answers to winter’s deepest questions. What I do know with 100% certainty, however, is that we’re facing the arrival of yet another exciting Mobile World Congress!

You’re probably starting to put together your battle plan for the week both on and off the show grounds, preparing to make every second count. As always, I’m happy to help my fellow marketers out with the annual rundown of the best parties and networking events in town during MWC. So here you have it: the all-encompassing paella of party guides to the MWC 2019 party scene. Buckle up and keep the Advil on your nightstand because it’s sure to be a crazy week. Vamos!

With so many great events this year (and every year, TBH), I only wish there were more hours in the day so I could attend more of them. However, time is our most crucial asset, so we must be picky with our decisions. Remember – set your personal goals for the week, and choose which events are worth your time. Plan wisely, and don’t forget to have some fun 😉 See y’all SOON in Barcelona.
