Podcast: All roads lead to MWC26 Barcelona
In this episode of the Mobile World Live podcast, host Justin Springham brings together Kavit Majithia, GSMA Intelligence head Peter Jarich and Totogi CEO Danielle "DR" Rios to look back at two decades of MWC in Barcelona and to unpack what to expect from the 2026 edition.
The discussion covers preparations for the event, standout memories from previous years, and how AI is set to feature across the show. The panel also weighs up whether MWC is still a device-led event, the role of satellite connectivity as it moves closer to mainstream use, and other major themes on the agenda. Along the way, they touch on lighter topics such as padel and US-style "soccer", before closing on what each of them is most interested in seeing at this year’s show.
