We encourage early arrival from 08:40am CAT - 20 minutes before doors close.
Keynote 1 is scheduled to begin at 09:30 CAT, followed immediately by the Opening Ceremony at 11:15 CAT.
Please download the official MWC app prior to arrival, to obtain your Digital Access Pass. You will need this pass to access the event, conference sessions and programmes.
Upon arrival at the convention centre, press pass holders should use the designated media entrance. 'Press and Media only' signage will be posted to guide you to the correct location.
