Hey everyone.
Derek Johnson with tatango.com.
Wanted to go through the Mobile World Congress 2019 floor plan, because this is a huge event,
and there's a bunch of different halls, and I want to explain, kind of, what each hall
represents and then where the messaging people will be as that's, for us, the most important.
So, this is a Google, kind of, sky view of the entire complex.
And as you can see here, this is a huge complex.
So, it goes from about right here all the way through here, and then all the way to
here.
So, we're talking this whole area is the conference center.
Let me show you how this looks.
So, if you look at it, and if I line them up, kind of, facing the same way, you have
hall one right here, hall one.
Hall two, hall three, hall two, hall three, hall four, six, five and seven.
So, five, seven, and then hall eight is way out here.
Now, from the schematics, hall eight is the one that has two floors.
Every other hall, except for this one right here, has one floor.
This one has two floors, but it's more, kind of, auditoriums up in the top section.
So, again, you're looking at like hall one, hall two, hall three, hall four, sorry, this
will be hall four, then hall six, hall eight, seven, five, and three, and two.
So, again, it's really, it's pretty complex and this is one, obviously.
So, a pretty large area.
So, I want to go through and show you, kind of, what it looks like.
I'm going to keep this one there.
So, this is hall eight, and this is actually hall 8.1, which is the second floor.
This is the most important for messaging people because these are all the messaging companies.
I've done my best to, kind of, highlight some of the top ones here.
You have, you know, cm.com, you have Infobip, Route Mobile, CLX, MessageBird, Urban Airship,
some of the more, kind of, push applications.
And then you have the GSMA way up at the top up here, messaging limited.
So, a lot of different messaging companies are on the eighth floor, sorry, the eighth
hall, but the second floor.
And, again, that is right here.
And, actually, I think, it goes like this.
If you were to look at it and put it together with this, this would be the entrance to the
hall eight.
And, again, second floor.
Okay.
Then you have hall seven.
This would be right here.
So, you have hall seven, a bunch of different companies but, again, not very many messaging
companies except for in hall 8.1 and hall four where they have the Innovation City.
So, here's a lot of the different companies.
What's interesting too is you can look, each, kind of, row is marked by a number and then
they have numbers for each stall.
So, you can, kind of, find places based on what hall you're in and then what the number
is, or, sorry, the letter.
So now we're onto hall six.
So, we just went through hall seven.
Now we're onto hall six, which is, kind of, close to hall eight.
So, here you can see you have Mavenir, a, kind of, a messaging-type company, but again,
not many messaging-type companies in hall six.
Hall five.
Hall four, this one is interesting.
So, hall four is right here, this area.
So, to get to hall eight from four, you got to go through hall six and then get to eight,
or go from eight to six to four.
This is where the Innovation City is.
There's going to be a lot of RCS demos in the Innovation City.
So, I think, a lot of messaging people are going to be hanging out here and in hall 8.1.
Also, note is AT&T, large wireless carrier in the United States is located here as well.
And they have a pretty large booth.
Again, this is hall four.
Hall three is interesting.
We're going to be spending some time here looking at all the different phones from Samsung,
Sony, you have some, sorry, you have Nokia, ZTE.
So, a bunch of different phone manufacturers are in hall three.
This is hall three.
So, really cool space.
I think this is going to be really interesting to see, kind of, what the new innovations
for phones are.
Then you have hall two.
Hall two will be interesting because you have some really large wireless hand manufacturers,
sorry, handset manufacturer.
So, Ericsson, you know, you have this one, I can't even say this one anymore, but then
you have Syniverse down there, they're, kind of, messaging as well, LG.
And then you have, again, hall one.
Hall one is right, kind of, at the entrance by the auditorium here.
You have China Mobile, you have Interop, which is sponsoring all of our videos.
That's going to be down there in the corner.
Again, Ericsson, so some large wireless carriers, or, sorry, handset manufacturers.
So, again, to review hall one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
8.1 is where the majority of mobile messaging companies are going to be hanging out, that's
where their trade show booths are.
And then hall four is where the GSMA Innovation City is.
So, let's look at this here.
You have hall one, two, three, four, six, five, seven and then eight.
Again, 8.1 is where all the messaging companies are going to be hanging out.
That's where most likely you'll find us at Tatango.
If you guys have any questions, let me know.
But this is a review of the 2019 floor plan for the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
