The IOWN Global Forum will return to Barcelona this March for Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026.
At MWC Barcelona 2026, technology, policy and commerce come together to shape the future of connectivity, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to share ideas, insights, and emerging technologies that are driving global change.
During the event, the IOWN Global Forum leaders will showcase how next-generation, photonics-driven network and compute infrastructure is being validated through real-world use cases and ecosystem collaboration.
Visit the Forum at Hall 2, Booth 2B40 to explore demonstrations and engage with ecosystem participants advancing infrastructure toward deployment.
The Forum will also host a half-day Partner Programme session on Tuesday, 3 March 2026 (15:00–19:00 CET) at Partner Theatre 5, Hall 8.0, titled Beyond Connectivity: From AI Ambition to Infrastructure Reality. This three-part program will bring together industry experts to examine enterprise challenges and opportunities, lessons learned from early adoption use cases, and the role of global ecosystem collaboration in moving from development to deployment—driving economic value and enabling sustainable growth.
