Walcon Virtual Events and its technological partner Virtway Events await the response to the evaluation of their proposal for the creation of a virtual fair simultaneous to MWC to accommodate companies that have reported their desertion due to the threat of the coronavirus. The fair could be accessible to all visitors through their Android, IOS computer, tablet or mobile .

From Walcon explain that there is already an international precedent announced in recent days in Milan that has resorted to a similar solution to the suspension of flights between China and Italy.

Walcon Virtual is a startup specialized in organizing 100% virtual events, promoter of international fairs in the energy sector Effie Virtual Congress , which has a team of professionals to provide the necessary technical support to Mobile World Congress during the event days that would guarantee its parallel celebration within a virtual 3D environment.

The organizer Walcon uses the technology designed by Virtway Events that reproduces the functionalities of a physical fair and can put at the service of the event a customized virtual auditorium for MWC where the planned presentations would be broadcast and that some brands have already announced that they will make from their private channels . There could also be a virtual exhibition area where the stands of the brands that will not physically attend may be present. In this way, the participating companies could serve the public live from their countries of origin through avatars, and attendees could interact with them comfortably by chat or voice from their mobile or any other device with an internet connection. They also propose to enable a space in the physical fair where visitors can see the conferences through digital screens.

The companies that have made the proposal affirm to do it for MWC in a disinterested way "as a demonstration that virtual fairs are an ideal complement to physical fairs but not only in critical cases such as the current one, but that they open up a range of possibilities to expand the market and offer new opportunities.
