The Mobile World Congress, which takes place in Barcelona in late February, is the world’s largest mobile technology event, with nearly all major phone makers holding conferences and announcing new products at the show.
This year, however, not all is going according to plan. On Tuesday, Korea’s LG announced it won’t be participating in the MWC this year.
“With the safety of its employees, partners and customers foremost in mind, LG has decided to withdraw from exhibiting and participating in MWC 2020 later this month in Barcelona, Spain. This decision removes the risk of exposing hundreds of LG employees to international travel which has already become more restrictive as the virus continues to spread across borders,” the statement on LG’s website said.
