Event Networking

We will provide all attendees with their networking badge when they enter the venue for the first time.  This will be handed to you during the access process.

No, you are not able to use your networking badge to access the venue. You will always need to be able to display your Digital Access Pass to enter the perimeter (as well as the Ministerial Programme perimeter, if you have been invited)

Apart from a way to be identified when networking at the venue, your networking badge can be scanned for lead retrieval purposes and can also be used to access conference and other scanned sessions within the venue (subject to eligibility, not permitted for Ministerial Programme perimeter)

No, your networking badge will only be printed once. When you return to access, we will scan your Digital Access Pass and then go straight into the venue.

There are a limited number of reprint stations at South Entrance, North Entrance and the VIP Car Drop Off. You can only collect your own badge, and reprints are limited to 1 per attendee.

You can use the networking function for up to 9 months after the event. If you attend another GSMA event, the 9-month time-limit will reset from the last event you attended. 

You can network with other GSMA event attendees who have also opted in to networking. This includes attendees from other MWC and M360 events. 

GSMA offers a curated networking service which proactively facilitates introductions between like-minded event attendees. If you opt-in to enhanced networking, we may use your professional profile to match you with an organisation who has expressed an interest in meeting people like you. If your profile matches their areas of interest, we will ask if you would like to be introduced to them. If you say yes, we will facilitate the introduction. If you say no, an introduction will not take place, and your personal details will not be shared with the organisation.

You can choose to opt in to Networking or Enhanced Networking when registering

If you decide to opt out of Networking at any time, simply log in to your registration account and turn it off in the Networking section, or disable it directly in the app.

To opt out of Enhanced Networking, log in to your registration account and update your preferences there.

Once you opt out, your profile will no longer be visible, and you will not be included in introductions or Networking features.

If you do not wish to meet an organisation, we will not share your details with them and no introduction will be made. They will not know that you declined their invitation.
