WHAT IS 4YFN

Built for real business

At 4YFN27 we don’t just discuss the future of tech, we actively build it. Integrated with MWC Barcelona, this is an independent yet deeply connected event, offering an unparalleled platform for networking and innovation. 

At 4YFN27 we build the future of tech. Running alongside MWC Barcelona, 4YFN brings its own independent identity, its own stage and its own ecosystem, connected to the world's largest tech event and built entirely around business outcomes. 

With 105,000 attendees across both 4YFN and MWC, your presence here will put you under a global spotlight. Plug directly into this energised ecosystem and turn exposure into exponential growth.  

The 4YFN difference

At every event we ensure connections and engineer outcomes. Here's how we make it happen:
