‘What to expect from Mobile World Congress 2017?’ – Forrester
Thomas Husson says, “This is this time of the year again! From next Monday (February 27) and March 2, 2017, Mobile World Congress (MWC) will take place in Barcelona. I attended this event (then 3GSM) for the first time in 2005 and it is fascinating to see how the event has morphed from a B2B telecoms technology trade show to the one of the largest business conference around the globe. This year’s MWC theme is “The Next Element” may look broad but I quite like this idea that mobile is elemental and has become part of our daily lives. By analogy with the previous industrial revolution, mobile is like electricity: once you have access to it, it is a disruptive enabler of adjacent technologies powering more powerful innovation. Mobile is barely entering its teen age years.
Consumers now use mobile as a sixth sense. If the human senses serve as effortless faculties through which we access information on the world around us, then mobile has become the sixth sense. It brings digital to consumers in their daily lives. It has truly become the face of digital. That’s the main challenge for marketers: since mobile becomes the primary interface between your brand and your customers”.
