New, Larger Venue for MWC 2013 and Beyond


The Mobile World Congress, Barcelona 2013, has been movede to Fira Gran Via. Located just down the road from the old location, Fira Gran Via is a large state-of-the-art event space which will allow the show to grow and expand in the years to come.


Location

                 

The physical address of Fira Gran Via is:
Av. Joan Carles I, 64
08908 L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona

Based on where your hotel is located, your travel times to the venue may stay the same or even decrease over previous years. Hotels near Port Olimpic actually have quicker travel times. More information about travel times and routes will be posted on the MWC official website soon.


Layout


Fira Gran Via is comprised of eight exhibition halls under a single roof. The layout begins with Hall 1, located at the South Entrance, and continues to Hall 8 and the North Entrance. In the heart of Fira Gran Via lies Congress Square (shown in black on the map below), which is sure to be a great meeting and gathering point.

Halls 1 through 7 are single-level spaces. But thanks to a dual-level walkway connecting the halls, complete with moving sidewalks, escalators and elevators, there’s plenty of space for the 70,000 attendees to move along quickly. Another plus is that Fira Gran Via is very friendly for those attendees with mobility issues.

The only multi-level hall is Hall 8, which will host App Planet, mPowered Brands, our Ministerial Programme, Exhibition space (Hall 8.1), and theatre events such as the Forum Series, App Developer Conferences (ADCs), mPowered Brands Theatres and Partner Events (Hall 8.0).


Halls 1, 2 and 3 contain Hospitality Suite and Meeting Room space. Halls 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.1, and Congress Square will contain Exhibition stands. Hall 4 will hold our Conference programme.

Size

Last but not least, the new venue is larger and will give Mobile World Congress the opportunity to continue to grow and expand in the years to come. Fira Gran Via boasts 240,000 square meters of space, under one roof, meaning Fira Gran Via is both 50% larger than the previous location, and will be unaffected by February’s changing weather. We’ll all enjoy a bit more breathing space in the years to come.
