Mark Zuckerberg to join the cream of the telecoms industry at Mobile World Congress

Mobile World Congress (MWC) sees the biggest names in telecoms head to Barcelona for the industry's annual trade fair, unveiling new technologies and sharing their visions of the sector's future. It looks like Mark Zuckerberg is once again set to steal the limelight at the 2016 event.

As well as presenting new mobile handsets and connected devices, Mobile World Congress hosts conferences uniting the movers and shakers of the telecoms industry (product manufacturers, network providers, ISPs, etc.).

After having already appeared at the 2015 event, where he talked about Facebook's mobile strategy, Mark Zuckerberg will once again be the star of the show at MWC this year. He'll be appearing alongside a whole host of industry CEOs already confirmed for the show, including Chuck Robbins of Cisco, Hans Vestberg of Ericsson, Shang Bing of China Mobile, Vittorio Colao of Vodafone, Brian Krzanich of Intel, Dan Schulman of PayPal and Jonah Peretti of BuzzFeed.

Most of the keynotes will be streamed live online via a special internet channel. Several key moments will also be shown on Mobile World Live TV, broadcast at the salon and in surrounding locations such as partner hotels.
