The Mobile World Congress, held in Barcelona, Spain for this year featured mobile technology at its best, with ideas, prototypes, and soon-to-be’s of the largest growing technology genre. Including industry heavyweights like HTC, Nokia, and Samsung.
First held in 1987, it is the world’s biggest mobile tech show operated by GSM Associates. Mobile World Congress was held in Cannes until 2006, at the time called “3GSM World”, and then was moved to Fira de Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and renamed Mobile World Congress. Continuing to be the forefront of mobile communications technology with people and companies from 200 countries, this year’s MWC ran from February 27th to March 1st of this year, and while Q101 strives to one day cover an event this important on the other side of the world, Engadget were the ones to cover and report from the event, and you can read more about their coverage, and the amazing and exciting technology that is featured here.
Friday, February 24th there was a concert at The Congress Theater in Chicago featuring Devil, Kill The Noise, and Korn. The crowd was an amalgam of parents, adults, and children, “new” Korn fans and “old” Korn fans. Different people from different walks of life. Something a lot of the people who were at that show have in common is something great: Q101 fans.
.
Q101 was at the Congress in force, spreading the word, talking about music and meeting fans new and old. Q101 hasn’t gone anywhere. Some concert goers said “You don’t exist anymore”. We do exist. it’s 2012, and technology changes, and matures. Q101.com, your iPhone, Android, and Blackberry. We aren’t just a “Chicago” radio station anymore. You can listen to us anywhere in the world. That’s what we came to tell our fans, and that’s what we did, with tons of people excited to see us.
And that’s not all folks, we’ve got fans in Korn as well, by the names of Ray and Wes:
Q101 had a great time at the Congress, and so did all the fans. We thank everyone that came out and enjoyed themselves, and we look forward to seeing you at the next one! And to the rest of you:
Comicbookjockey is a guy with too many opinions, and too little time. He’s crass and articulate, always has on headphones, talks about nerdy stuff, and cleaning up after himself. Too see and hear more:
