World´s top mobile trade fair cancelled over coronavirus concerns. Organisers of the World Mobile Congress said Wednesday they have cancelled the world´s top mobile trade fair due to fears stemming from the coronavirus, following an exodus of industry heavyweights.

The announcement came after the GSMA, the mobile trade association that organises the annual show, held a meeting to decide the fate of the event that had been planned to run in Barcelona from February 24-27.

"The GSMA has cancelled MWC Barcelona 2020 because the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak, travel concern and other circumstances, make it impossible for the GSMA to hold the event," a statement said.

The decision is certain to be a major blow for Barcelona, as the huge trade show was forecast to bring in almost 500 million euros, organisers said. Ericsson has cancelled 30 rooms, and Intel and LG have cancelled their meeting rooms," said the manager of another nearly hotel who did not want to give her name.
