MWC Shanghai — All Editions

MWC Shanghai is a mobile and connectivity event held in Shanghai, China. The 2026 edition ran from 24 to 26 June 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The organiser's site now promotes the next show for 23 to 25 June 2027 at the same venue, and describes MWC Shanghai as the largest and most influential gathering of the connectivity ecosystem in Asia.

Looking back, the organiser lists 37,300 attendees from 143 countries and territories, with 36% at senior level and 43 government delegations and intergovernmental organisations. It also says 91% of past exhibitors generated partnerships, viable deals or high-value leads. These are the organiser's figures for the previous year and not a promise for 2027.

For 2027 the organiser builds the event around five growth areas: AI industry transformation, 6G with non-terrestrial networks and satellite, AI infrastructure, robotic AI, and data and security. It describes the audience as the AI-native connectivity ecosystem, covering connectivity, cloud, edge, devices, computing, data and security, together with international partners, buyers and investors. The exhibitor pages mention eight zones, and participation options include space-only stands, a turnkey Exhibition Stand Plus, shell scheme stands, meeting rooms and pavilions for country or industry groups. The same enquiry form lists the GLOMO Awards Asia and a 4YFN zone.
