MWC is back, and so are we!
The tech world will descend on Spain from March 2 to 5, 2026, for MWC Barcelona.
This year marks a massive milestone as the event celebrates its 20th anniversary in the city, marking two decades of a partnership that has transformed Barcelona into a global hub of digital innovation.
Under the theme “The IQ Era,” MWC 2026 embraces a new age of intelligence, where AI serves as the brain behind everything from 5G and 6G networks to sustainable technology.
As traditional marketing channels reach saturation, a “Third Pillar” of app growth has emerged: Mobile OEM advertising (ads on android OEM devices and their app stores – think Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, Vivo, Honor etc.).
The AVOW team will be there to show you how to truly own the mobile landscape through app growth strategies that integrate directly into the device’s native UI and setup process, making your app a seamless part of the user’s discovery journey from the very first boot.
