Mobile World Congress 2017 has begun.

Like all industry events of this scale, the anticipation leading up to the first day of MWC 2017 has been palpable. 

As the best and brightest have made their collective merry way to scenic Barcelona, Spain, the excitement has grown, seemingly by the hour.

As we made our way to the event itself we were, In many ways, like kids on Christmas morning.

And we weren't alone. 

This year's MWC event, like those which preceded it, had the tech sector buzzing, particularly on Twitter.

And we were watching.

Let's see how things unfolded on day one of Mobile World Congress 2017...

Day one of MWC 2017 was awesome indeed. The twitter activities of those in attendance reflected this fact. We are hopeful that this trend will continue, and we’ll be watching to make sure that if and when it does, we’ll be there to capture all the Twitter magic.

See you all at day 2!
