“As part of the NFC Experience, the GSMA will showcase an integrated range of mobile NFC services throughout the venue and city of Barcelona,” says the trade association. “NFC touch points will be abundant throughout the exhibition, rewarding those who ‘tap’ with instant access to information and various incentives.”

“More than a dozen NFC Experience Zones will be located along the walkways, entrances, green areas, and exhibition halls of Fira Gran Via,” the GSMA adds. “Strategic NFC touch points will be available at the airport, key hotels, selected restaurants, and central tourist locations. By tapping NFC tags, attendees will receive discount offers, information downloads, access to mobile apps, and much more.”
