As I head for Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2025, let me share a memorable fact about this year's congress, which inspired this article.
Did you know this is the first time GSMA has renamed four of the event's key stages after pioneers who have laid the groundwork for our modern technological landscape? These stages will be known as Marconi, Turing, Johnson, and Lamarr.

In this article, let's discover these stages, pioneers, and other unsung heroes.
