MWC Barcelona (formerly Mobile World Congress, but still widely known as MWC) is a GSMA-organized annual trade event focusing on the mobile communications industry.

The event is held in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, usually in February or early March. It is attended primarily by device manufacturers, network equipment providers, representatives of wireless carriers, and the press, among others. It attracts roughly 100,000 people each year, and mobile phone makers frequently use the event to announce new products.

Telecom representatives and ministers from all over the world attended the conference.
