Update

Kuala Lumpur, February 13, 2020 – With less than two weeks left before MWC Barcelona 2020, GSMA has announced the event cancelation due to the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak. As one of the exhibitors of MWC Barcelona since 2017, elfo respects and understands this decision.

This however, does not affect relationships between elfo and its potential clients and partners. The cancellation only affects the convention itself. Any meetings set for these dates are still scheduled online.

“We understand that, in today’s climate, events like MWC Barcelona are not exempt. The GSMA is an international organization and as such, its priorities have to be the safety and well-being of all convention attendees. We, as a GSMA member, will continue to support the GSMA in all future endeavours like next year’s MWC Barcelona,” said elfo Director Johary Mustapha.

MWC Barcelona 2020 would have taken place on Monday, 24 February – Thursday, 27 February 2020 at Fira Gran Via with elfo at Hall 8.1 Stand 8.1 G22.

What started out as a small 6-man operation, elfo has now grown into a multinational digital marketing company with clients in over 30 countries worldwide. elfo is able to provide the latest innovations necessary for companies to maximize their ROI, boost sales and improve their online presence. The company hopes to continue to exhibit in MWC Barcelona 2021.
