Mobile World Congress Barcelona - Business Services You May Need and where to Find Them


Here is another article to help you with your Business needs, while you are staying visiting the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Where can you go for printing services, batteries, SD cards etc. Here is an article covering just that and we will be adding something new every day, so keep coming back.




Mobile World Congress has a deal with Workcenter, a chain of office centers with five outlets across Barcelona. The onsite Workcenter at the Fira Gran Via (CC2, Level 1, Room 2.12) is open starting Saturday for vendors, and Monday for everyone else. That's by far the most convenient place to print your documents during show hours.

From batteries to SD cards and USB cables, many small-scale gadgets are available in the Granvia 2 mall across from the South Entrance (open 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday). The Carrefour superstore has pretty much everything, but there are also dedicated photo stores (such as Fotoprix) and electronics stores (such as Miró). Just remember that since these aren't official show vendors, you'll need to take anything you buy home with you, yourself.

Mailing and Shipping
The official freight forwarder, EF-GSM Ltd, is the only company allowed to deliver items directly to and from the Fira Gran Via. You can find full details in the exhibitor manual. The company requires three to seven days advance notice for most deliveries. If you're shipping something to the show last minute via UPS, FedEx, or a similar company, exhibitors can send it to a special delivery address at Fira Montjuïc. It's all in the exhibitor manual linked above.

Of course, if you aren't an exhibitor, you won't be able to use these services. For ordinary visitors, the five Workcenter locations in Barcelona (as referenced below) can also do shipping and package receiving via DHL. The nearest post office to the Fira is at Alts Forns 65, 08038 Barcelona. That's walking distance from the North Entrance. It's open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday.

Computers, Printers and Workspaces
Outside show hours, hit the five Workcenters in town. Three are open on Sundays, and the one on Avenida Diagonal (Diagonal 437, 08036 Barcelona; +34 (93) 390-1100) is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. To get to the 24/7 Workcenter, take metro lines 3 or 5 to Diagonal, take a left on Avenida Diagonal and walk about five blocks. Several buses also serve that location.

Sartorial Issues
The Granvia 2 mall just across Plaça Europa from the convention center has next-day laundry and shoe repair services, as well as hair salons and pretty much every tier of clothing store. Whether you've broken a heel or poured wine on your last shirt, the mall holds your solution.
