Layout
Fira Gran Via is comprised of eight exhibition halls under a single roof. The layout begins with Hall 1, located at the South Entrance, and continues to Hall 8 and the North Entrance. In the heart of Fira Gran Via lies Congress Square (shown in black on the map below), which is sure to be a great meeting and gathering point. Halls 1 through 7 are single-level spaces. But thanks to a dual-level walkway connecting the halls, complete with moving sidewalks, escalators and elevators, theres plenty of space for our 70,000 attendees to move along quickly. The only dual-level hall is Hall 8, which will host App Planet, mPowered Brands, and Exhibition space (Hall 8.1), and theatre events such as our Forum Series, App Developer Conferences (ADCs), mPowered Brands Theatres, and Partner Events, as well as our Ministerial Programme (Hall 8.0). Halls 1, 2 and 3 contain Hospitality Suite and Meeting Room space. Halls 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.1, and Congress Square will contain Exhibition stands. Hall 4 will hold our Conference programme.
The physical address of Fira Gran Via is: Av. Joan Carles I, 64 08908 LHospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona
Size
Last but not least, our new home is larger and will give Mobile World Congress the opportunity to continue to grow and expand in the years to come. Fira Gran Via boasts 240,000 square metres of space under one roof, meaning Fira Gran Via is both 100% larger than our previous location, and will be unaffected by Februarys changing weather.

Networking Break 13:00 14:00 Building the Ecosystem for NFC Services 14:00 15:30
NFC services are continuing to be rolled-out by mobile operators, payment providers and handset manufacturers across the world. However, NFC has yet to reach its market potential. According to Strategy Analytics Wireless Device Strategies, 48.7 million NFCenabled handsets were sold in 2011 and this is predicted to grow to 506.9 million units by 2016. As customer awareness of NFC increases, this will encourage a greater use of NFC services such as accessing information and more advanced services requiring larger infrastructure investments such as mobile payments. This session will explore how to build the NFC ecosystem and successfully address consumer needs to drive the continued service adoption, particularly in light of competing technologies. Specific focus areas will include educating service providers and consumers to support NFC and how to achieve alignment on industry standards, specifications and key processes.

The uniquely accessible nature of app design, development and delivery makes it one of the most democratic businesses to get into. But low barriers to entry guarantee only that players in the apps space have a chance at success by no means does even popularity assure profitability. So whats next in mobile apps? And how does a good idea become a good business? From idea to execution, from funding to marketing, hear from the people who have been there and are doing that in mobile apps.

Evaluating the Business Case for Mobile Cloud Services 14:00 15:30
The mobile cloud has long offered the potential to provide mobile operators and other service providers with access to new revenue streams. For consumers, mobile cloud services have largely focused on providing storage and back-up services. Whether service providers provision the network for these services, develop cloud apps or deliver and optimise cloud content for consumers, mobile cloud has yet to reach its potential and moreover, provide significant revenue streams across the value chain. This session will ask if there is really a business case for providing consumer-focused mobile cloud services beyond back-up and storage and if so, what are these services. This session will also discuss whether players can monetise consumer-focused cloud services successfully. MODERATOR: Bengt Nordstrm, Northstream SPEAKERS INCLUDE: Malcolm Nicholas, IBM Paul-Franois Fournier, Orange Chan Kin Hung, StarHub Laura Yecies, SugarSync, Inc.

right approach can be the key to a renewed growth period for a company, repositioning its assets in order to better compete in the future. On the other hand, mistakes can be made and long-term repercussions can be very damaging. Its a difficult decision but one that eventually needs to be made. Mergers, acquisitions, joint-ventures, commercial agreements, strategic collaboration and so forththere are many ways by which a company can decide to develop its long term strategy and this session will discuss the latest and hottest trends and activities involving mobile operators, software companies, OEMs, content providers, Internet players and more.

As the mobile ecosystem evolves, the lines dividing competitors from partners blur as players from different parts of the value chain seek better positioning in this ever-changing competitive landscape. In a global marketplace, assessing the best strategic approach to partnerships is very challenging due to the complexity and variety of aspects that need to be taken into account: economic upside, intellectual property protection, business synergies, corporate culture, geographies and, last but not least, their relative competitive position to one another.

The rules have changed for the mobile industry in the past five years, and today demand a radical rethink of operations to enable new services. While voice and SMS continue to be the main revenue source for many operators, these revenues are increasingly at risk or declining. Positioning themselves as providers of coverage and capacity poses problems for operators as profits dont rise in line with costs; but historically they have struggled to compete against agile players in other service ecosystems. Reshaping the business should be a constant challenge to mobile operators these days. Carrying out change while making the most of existing business is a difficult balancing act; in this session pioneering C-level speakers discuss their visions, pain points and surprises leading their companies through genuine business transformation.

Networking Break 12:30 14:00 Smaller but Smarter: Making a Success of Small Cell Networks 14:00 15:30
Depending on who you listen to, the adoption rate for small cells from indoor femtocells to microcells ranges from the very fast to the astronomical. What is the reality behind the hype? There are first-movers with some very impressive activity. However, while there is undoubtedly progress in many areas to solve issues such as Wi-Fi integration, interference management, backhaul and interRAT handoff there is still a long way to go before the technology is mature. One thing looks certain, however; to gain the most advantage from small cell deployments, both commercial and technical, moving intelligence away from the core network will be key. In this session we will gain some valuable insight into how small cell technologies and capabilities are developing and the new business cases that they create for operators.

Mobile Identity: Opportunities & Challenges for Service Providers 14:00 15:30
The adoption of consumer-focused mobile services, particularly those utilising the cloud, is increasing rapidly. The proliferation of user data presents significant opportunities and challenges for service providers in managing transactions securely and protecting users identity, and mobile operators are well-positioned to play a critical role in this scenario. However, opportunities for the development of mobile identity services extend beyond the mobile operator to other service providers such as SIM card manufacturers, security software and data storage companies. Furthermore, the adoption of services can be catalysed through partnerships with governments and other public sector organisations. This session aims to explore the opportunities and challenges for service providers in driving the development and adoption of mobile identity services.

Networking Break 15:30 16:00 Whose Network? Emerging Network Business Models 16:00 17:30
The days when a mobile operator owned a mobile network are long gone. However, the advent of LTE and all-IP cores, small cell networks and Wi-Fi integration are taking a re-imagination of network business models to a new level. Technical considerations, cost and planning regulations are driving the increased adoption of multiple business models for network deployment and operation such as network sharing, wholesaling and outsourcing. This session examines the implications of these trends for established and new-entrant mobile network providers itself an increasingly blurry concept. What are the business opportunities, and what does this shift mean for concepts of customer ownership, data ownership, regulation and service delivery?

Mobile Entertainment: The Rise of the Digital Global Event 16:00 17:30
No-one could predict the part that mobile played in the consumption and delivery of content during the London 2012 Olympic Games. When London was named the host city in 2005, there was concern that mobile networks might not be able to support the influx of visitors and content at the event. Seven years later, a combination of sophisticated mobile content and the seamless delivery of live coverage across multiple devices made London 2012 a powerful example of the impact of mobile content delivery. Looking towards future large-scale events, like 2014 FIFA World Cup, what lessons can be taken from this positive example of the marriage of mobile and live content? How did the mobile industry meet customers needs and what planning was involved? Hear from the people that made it happen at London 2012 and those hoping to improve the mobile experience at future large scale events.

Networking Break 12:30 14:00 Health: Achieving Scale through Partnerships 14:00 15:30
How can mobile reach its potential to improve both the outcomes and the economics of global health? One way is through crossindustry partnerships that will allow mHealth solutions a scale that would be out of reach to the mobile and health industries in isolation. There are hundreds of live and pilot mHealth deployments currently underway across many and diverse territories, but many of these projects, both commercial and pilot, will remain short term or small scale and will fold once initial funding is exhausted. To reach scale, mHealth systems must in many cases be designed to integrate with existing health systems. This is not something the mobile industry can achieve alone, despite operators expertise and experience in delivering end-to-end services to their customers, and will require strong working partnerships between mobile network operators, health applications and health IT providers. Speakers in this session will showcase examples of mHealth projects that have gone beyond the small scale and pilot stages. They will seek to identify best practice in making mHealth sustainable, and will discuss the progress and challenges in partnering for mHealth.

Future of the Enterprise: Can Mobility Transform the Business? 14:00 15:30
Businesses are increasingly seeing the value of mobility as an enabler of business transformation to drive greater efficiency, agility and customer engagement within their organisations. At one end, larger enterprises are accepting that mobility is a source of competitive advantage and it is often being embraced as part of an enterprise mobility strategy. At the other end, smaller enterprises are often choosing mobile as a growing, critical channel through which to go to market with their services. This session will examine how enterprises of all sizes and from a variety of industries are embracing mobility to achieve tangible business benefits. It will also explore whether bring your own device (BYOD) is an enabler or a hindrance in this endeavour.

Networking Break 15:30 16:00 Health: Innovating for Global Health 16:00 17:30
Bringing together the traditionally fast-moving mobile industry and the traditionally slow-moving health field was always going to provide a fertile ground for innovation. The frontier between mobile and health is peppered with opportunities to make a massive difference to the lives of many people very quickly. But innovating for health is not necessarily an easy way to make a living. The diversity of the mobile and health industries means that, whilst there are many opportunities, there are also many challenges. Regulation, privacy concerns, questions surrounding funding and revenue models both industries still have much to address to capitalise on the exciting new ideas emerging from the intersection of mobile and health. Speakers in this session will take a look at whats new and whats coming through in mobile health. Innovators will showcase the future of health, from new uses for standard mobile tech to new devices with the potential to revolutionise the field, and will ask what makes an enabling environment for mobile health innovation.

QoE: Enriching the User Experience, Enriching the Operator? 16:00 17:30
The mobile users overall Quality of Experience has never been more important to operators or as tricky to measure and manage. Network-oriented measures of QoS are being superseded by more holistic ways of understanding the users expectations and experience interacting with the operator and its services. Throwing more bandwidth at users is no longer an option: unless operators improve the whole user experience other players will continue to pressure operators. This session will provide practical ideas and coordinated approaches allowing operators to measure, improve and profit from users QoE throughout the customer lifecycle.

Providing a superior customer experience will be one of the main objectives for operators in coming years. They will need to enhance the end-to-end quality of service provided by their networks while increasing network capacity. This goes hand in hand with optimised, converged operations to improve the cost base, service time-to-market and overall flexibility. This session will give insights into how to measure end-to-end QoS (Quality of Service) and to identify the main parameters impacting customer experience. Furthermore, industry leaders will introduce the latest methods to operate future networks efficiently and will present initiatives to define requirements for unified operations standards.

Mobile Money: Enabling Mobile Money Services in Emerging Markets 14:30 16:00
The most successful mobile money services in the world are in emerging markets. As more customers start to become active users of mobile money services, particularly bill payments and person-to-person money transfer services, we see deployments are starting to broaden the range of products that they offer and are introducing new financial services to customers via the mobile phone. These second generation services include government-toperson payments, micro-insurance and micro-credit loans. However, there are some significant challenges in delivering these services to customers and driving usage, such as establishing effective new partnerships, educating customers about the benefits and overcoming regulatory hurdles. This session aims to explore the most effective strategies to enable the next wave of mobile money services in emerging markets. MODERATOR: Seema Desai, GSMA SPEAKERS INCLUDE: Adam Kerr, Ericsson Franois-Xavier Roger, Millicom Group Frdric Blehaut, Orange Mazen Mrou, MTN Uganda Roar Bjaerum, Telenor Pakistan
14:30 16:00
Operators today face the challenges of exponential growth of mobile data traffic and of customers continuously demanding new applications. Hence, they need to identify ways to maintain and even increase the efficiency of the networks, reduce architectural complexity and enable flexible service delivery. Traditional architectures need to be reviewed and radically redefined.

Nevertheless, while you are here we suggest taking common-sense precautions as you would when visiting any major city: Remove your Congress pass upon leaving the venue Do not display large amounts of cash; carry only as much as you need Keep your personal belongings with you, both inside and outside the venue Be vigilant in crowds, restaurants and on public transportation; watch out for people creating distractions and diversions It helps the city to fight petty crime if you report incidents, so if youre involved in an incident, call +34 900 77 2013, a free 24-hour security telephone number for assistance and information during the event days. This service covers the entire city of Barcelona (not just the event venue) and the number will appear on the back of your pass for easy reference. In the event you do encounter trouble during Congress, we have teams on motorcycles available to travel to you to provide whatever assistance you require.
