MWC for Show, CeBIT for Dough

MWC for Show, CeBIT for Dough

DUBLIN, January 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Why are mobility distributors favouring rainy, grey Hannover over the sunny Barcelona
alternative? 

    CeBIT and the Mobility sector have appeared to grow apart over the past decade as
Mobile Phone Manufacturers choose MWC as their premier destination for product launches
and marketing spending. But under the surface, CeBIT is rising from the ashes and it's
doing it in a way that is under the radar of most industry commentators and competitors.

    The key to this revival is based on two components. Specialise in a specific area, do
it better than your competitor and use experts to spearhead the campaign.

    Firstly let's dispel a myth, the mobility sector hasn't abandoned CeBIT, in fact, come
March 2016, in Hall 14, millions of Euro will exchange hands as real-time deals are
completed, partnerships are forged, channels established and supply chains are realised.
This has been key to CeBIT's rise and with the help of gsmExchange, an entire element of
the Mobility Eco-System has established itself at CeBIT. That element is distribution.

    But how is CeBIT specialising in a specific area? Well, by working directly with
gsmExchange, CeBIT opened the door to the entire distribution market, over 120,000
contacts in fact from the gsmExchange.com [http://gsmexchange.com ]  database. These
companies ranged from blue-chip companies right down to SME's and Start Ups, but all were
focused on distribution and all quickly established that there were opportunities at
CeBIT. 

    gsmExchange established the tradeZone pavilion in 2011 and has grown the mobile phone
section at CeBIT to over 4000msquared in area. Over 10,000 professionals are expected to
attend the event and a further 220,000 delegates, journalists and exhibitors will
participate in the wider CeBIT event. 

    To complement the already successful distribution area, gsmExchange is launching OEM
Connect, a concept designed to connect manufacturers of all sizes with retailers,
distributors and network operators. gsmExchange facilitate pre-arranged meetings with a
one-on-one matchmaking service and VIP lounge for meetings to take place.

    Manufacturers looking to get more exposure can take a booth within the tradeZone
pavilion, avail of a demo point in the networking suite, or participate in product
launches and announcements on the forum stage. 

    CeBIT takes place from the 14th to 18th March in Hannover, Germany. gsmExchange
tradeZone and OEM Connect are located in Hall 14, within CeBIT.
