MWC Barcelona stand builder.
MWC is the highest-stakes stand build in the European calendar. Budgets are large, build-up windows are short, and crew and rigging capacity across Barcelona sells out months in advance.
- Venue
- Fira Gran Via
- Sector
- Mobile & telecoms
- Scale
- 88,000+ attendees
Where the show takes place
Halls 1–8 at Fira Gran Via, with Hall 3 traditionally holding the largest network-operator builds.
Build rules and constraints
- Structural approval required well ahead of build-up — MWC deadlines are strict
- Rigging points must be ordered early; they sell out
- Height allowances vary by hall and space type
- Overnight build-up shifts are common and priced accordingly
How we approach MWC Barcelona
We plan MWC builds from six months out. Below that, crew, rigging and hotel availability start dictating the design rather than the brief.
MWC Barcelona stands — FAQs
How much does an exhibition stand at MWC Barcelona cost?
A custom single-storey stand at MWC Barcelona typically runs £450–£900 per sqm of build, so a 60 sqm stand lands around £35,000–£55,000 before space, freight and services. Double-deck builds run £1,100–£1,900 per sqm of ground footprint.
When do stand designs need approval for MWC Barcelona?
Fira Gran Via organisers generally require structural drawings 8–12 weeks before build-up, with the longer window applying to double-deck stands and anything above the standard height limit. Late submission attracts surcharges and can be refused.
Do you build stands for exhibitors at MWC Barcelona?
Yes. We design, engineer, build and install stands at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, handling structural approval, rigging, services, freight, on-site supervision and dismantle under one contract.
