My Partner Programs


This information is applicable to Partner Programs, Power Hours & Tech Talk Sessions.


Overview

Partner Programs, Power Hour and Tech Talk sessions offer MWC attendees the opportunity to amplify their knowledge about the mobile industry. Partner Programs are full or half-day sessions developed and presented by you and some of the top organisations in the mobile ecosystem. Power Hour and Tech Talk sessions deliver targeted or specific messages in a short timeframe. Our partners determine the content and topics covered which can include new program initiatives, emerging market trends, and, or product development. These events are usually geared to the general mobile audience or an industry specific audience. This is your opportunity to take the stage and provide invaluable industry learning opportunities for our attendees. 

GSMA Support Team

All Partners are provided a designated Support Team who will assist with planning, execution, event options, marketing and registration details for your session. You will be contacted via email with next steps.

Registration

Exhibitor & Partner Registration System (E&P)

Your contract includes passes for you to distribute to your staff, speakers, invited guests, or anyone indicating interest in attending your session via the Programme Application System (PAS). To distribute the passes, you will be set up with a Exhibitor & Partner Registration System (E&P) account. 

Your Event Programme Manager will facilitate getting your E&P Account set up. To do so you will need to select a Registration Coordinator from your organisation and provide the following:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Mobile Number
The Registration Coordinator can do the following:

  • Access User Guide and Video Tutorials 
  • Add additional coordinators – up to four 
  • Customise Invitations 
  • Distribute passes
  • Purchase additional passes or upgrades
  • Build the Attendance List for the session
  • Manage Programme Application System (PAS)


Programme Application System (PAS)

The Programme Application System (PAS) is available for Partner Program and Power Hour sessions only and is offered to generate interest in your programme and manage applications.  PAS is open to anyone, regardless if they have a pass to attend the event or just want to apply for a session. Anyone indicating interest will have to provide demographic information. Once they apply for programme(s) their information will be fed into the individual E&P account. You will not know how many sessions they apply to attend. Once their information appears in your account you can:

  • Approve or Decline attendees who apply to your programme
  • Provide unregistered applicants with a pass from your own allocation


Scanning – Partner Programs & Power Hour Sessions Only 

Scanning takes place at the entry to your Theater and event staff will use handheld scanners to scan an attendees’ Digital Badge. If the badge scans “green” it is their indication that attendee in on your attendance list and are permitted to enter your programme.  Anyone who scans “red” has not been added to your approved attendance list. You will need to have someone from your organisation at the hostess desk with the event staff to determine if you will permit them to enter. If you wish them to attend, the agent will use the scan override function to permit access and collect the attendee data for your reports.

Reports will be available in your E&P account approximately 2 hours after the conclusion of your programme and available to download for up to 2 weeks post event.
