The last time I was in Barcelona, I was competing in the aquatic World Championships in 2003.  This time around, I attended Mobile World Congress as one of the representatives of Motally.  Motally, had a booth located in the App Planet exhibit hall which was sponsored by Blackberry.  Day one was filled with awe and excitement.  The Fira de Barcelona is a huge venue with a beautiful fountain; aptly name the Magic Fountain, in the center. It was an inspiring location for the MWC.  Throughout the event, Motally received great traffic to our booth and we enjoyed having many of our clients stop by to say Hi.  At the conference, important announcements were made, new OS platforms revealed, fun after-parties thrown, great panels presented, and cool gadgets shown.  We even got to see our founder, Arte Merritt featured on the big screen at Alcatel-Lucent’s booth.  As one of Blackberry’s affiliate partners, we got to also enjoy one of their organized activities.  RIM hosted an amazing event at the FCB, Barcelona’s football stadium where we received a private tour of the museum, trophy rooms, and even got to set foot on the field.  One of the other highlights of the conference for me was attending the Women in Mobile Data luncheon. It was fantastic to see women come together and support each other in the mobile industry.  Overall, I enjoyed seeing the mobile industry come together to share insights, cultures, and move their businesses towards success.
