Best event of the year for sure!
The quantity and quality of startups, especially the fact that so many were international.
Make the whole registration process pre-event way easier. I found it very, very annoying.

It was an amazing experience, with a different profile of participants, incredible speakers, and a good experience.
That there were many stands with content, increased the experience. The climate, impact, track. The 4YFN team is amazing and always willing to help, participate, and add value.
Registration and entrance are a little bit too time demanding (although I guess it is not simple to get so many people together to enter the event at similar timing). I think that impact content must be increased as there is a great interest; there were literally unending queues. I will have love to have an impact space where more content could be done during the four days, receive impact-themed networkings, position impact startups, etc. The catering in the investor lounge, speakers room, and executive lounge was not very good.

Overwhelming and hope giving!
The number of solutions will help us solve the challenges of our times. It is great to see that tech is starting to solve relevant issues.
The startups were international, but still, many countries were not present. This could have been better. The food situation during lunchtime was a nightmare. Queuing for hours, and prices were insane.

A wonderful experience encompassing every aspect of modern tech and the arts.
I particularly enjoyed the camaraderie and ease with organising the speaking events.
The signing between the halls was a little difficult to understand, and poor wifi caused problems in accessing the app. More signs in IRL would be helpful.

Very enriching, with lots of connections
The variety of stages and events one could attend + the focus on innovation and web3.
Share suggestions of possible people of interest to meet in the app before the event.

Interesting networking opportunity
Keynotes and fireside chats were very nicely organised. Speakers had lots of support, and the process was the smoothest I have seen.
Maybe be more mindful of having toilets in the speaker corner, the room temperature... Also, sharing the media (at least some pics) with the speakers promptly so our companies can post about it.

Energized by all the participants and the opportunities to meet start-ups and new businesses.
Organization and professionalism in managing process/agenda. The space with a vanguard look, and all the topics being approached are up-to-date and in touch with current topics.
Find a way to diminish the noise in the main conference space due to amount of people there was hard to hear some of the sessions.

Undoubtedly MWC Barcelona is the world’s largest conference on global digital connectivities.
The breadth and depth of the digital economy sectors represented are unrivalled. I only managed to cover a small fraction by the end of the 4-day conference.
The food supply system could be better. The big line to buy food takes precious time away from the attendants.

I was able to do a lot of networking and met exciting professionals in my area.
The variety of talks and speakers, the possibility of meeting other like-minded people.
I can't think of anything at the moment. I really liked the atmosphere and the organization.

Very good experience full of networking opportunities
4YFN hall 8 - it brought start-ups from different parts of the globe. This allows for a very good exchange of experiences among the participants.
I would suggest making sure next event includes experiences and models on tools and equipment but also labs that support digital prototyping, testing, and experimentation
