The first ever Mobile Congress Bangladesh (MCB) will be held at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in the capital from September 29 to October 1, reports UNB.
The Association of Mobile Telecom Operators of Bangladesh (AMTOB) and RedCarpet365 Ltd. will jointly organise the congress.

The congress will highlight the recent development and broaden the future scope of Bangladesh's mobile and telecommunication industry.
The event will feature exhibition, seminar, conference, forum and award show, said a media release.
With over 183.38 million (April 2022) mobile phone subscribers and 113.21 million (April 2022) mobile internet users, Bangladesh is showing perfect examples of being digital, said Mr SM Farhad.
He said the growth drivers are indicating that by 2023 the market size will be $5.08 billion. "So, this is the time to grab the opportunity to highlight the strength of these industries to the World and Mobile Congress Bangladesh (MCB) will be the perfect platform for that."
Mr Ahmed Imtiaz said Bangladesh's mobile handset and telecommunication industry is moving ahead. "To keep in competition with the rest of the world, we need to promote 'Made in Bangladesh' campaign."
He said the leading international mobile brands Samsung, Nokia, Vivo, Xiaomi and Oppo have already set up factories in the country. "We believe Mobile Congress Bangladesh (MCB) will play an important role in attracting about $12 billion investment by 2023."
