Yes. The minimum age required to attend the event is 18 years of age.

The GSMA acknowledges that there may be circumstances in which a guardian has to bring an individual younger than 18 years of age (a “Minor”) to the Event in the absence of adequate childcare. Please keep in mind that the Event includes the following before deciding to bring a Minor to the Event as the Event environment may not be suitable for all Minors:

• Large crowds

• Loud noises and music

• Significant visual stimulation (including bright lights, large screens and demonstrations)

Should you decide to still bring a Minor to the Event we are committed to providing you and your Minor with a safe experience.

Minors Friendly Facility: Should you find yourself in need of a moment of quiet while attending the Event, we invite you to visit our minor friendly space that can be found in the Event map within the MWC Las Vegas 2024 Event App that will be live closer to the event.

Pre-Approval Process: Any guardian desiring to bring a Minor to the Event must request approval from GSMA (approval is at GSMA’s sole discretion) prior to entering the Event (please click here to submit the form). Please note the process can take up to 72 hours and any onsite requests may significantly delay your entry to the Event so we encourage you do make all requests in advance.

General Event Requirements: The guardian must accompany the Minor at all times and is responsible for ensuring both the Minor’s safety and the Minor’s compliance with all rules and regulations, including all health and safety protocols. Guardians are asked to help maintain a professional, disturbance-free environment. For safety reasons, Minors are not permitted entry to the Event venue during build-up and dismantling. No exceptions are provided.
