Countdown to Mobile Sunday 2018 - here's what to expect

Next week is one of the biggest tech gatherings on planet Earth, with more than 100,000 people joining to discuss the future of the mobile industry (and much more) at the Mobile World Congress and 4YFN Conference in Barcelona.

And like almost every year, the events are kicked off in style with Mobile Sunday, the premier networking soirée at the amazing Antiga Fàbrica Estrella Damm.

Get your (discounted) tickets now before we run out of space and come mingle with founders, investors, corporate executives, journalists and mobile industry pundits over (free) Estrella beers and some delicious grub from our street food trucks.

Over the past twenty years, the systems that enable businesses to call, text or chat with customers have become complex, expensive and fragmented. Convoluted networks of platforms and providers route messages and calls all over the world, slowing the process and creating security risks for businesses. MessageBird’s global team is meeting this challenge by rebuilding the infrastructure for global customer communications, following the largest ever Series A investment into an active European software business. Our network of more than 250 direct carrier relationships, from London to Sydney, ensures the fastest and most direct line for voice, SMS, video and chat communication between businesses like Uber, SAP, Huawei, DoorDash, Amber Alert and Heineken, and their customers all over the world.

Ask yourself: in 2018, why can’t a business communicate with customers the way customers communicate with each other? MessageBird believes in a world where communicating with a business feels as natural as communicating with a friend.
