The GSM Association (GSMA) is the advocacy and lobbying organization for the mobile communications industry, representing more than 750 mobile operators as full members and a further 400 companies in the broader mobile ecosystem as associate members.
Although legally a non-profit trade association, the GSMA operates on an commercial scale generating estimated annual revenues of approximately $668 million, largely through its flagship event series, the Mobile World Congress (MWC). The MWC event in Barcelona alone contributed over €561 million to the local economy in a recent year, demonstrating the event's massive commercial engine.
