The show formerly known as CTIA – now rebranded as Mobile World Congress Americas (MWCA) – is heading to Los Angeles from September 11 – 14. The show connects professionals across the mobile landscape and features the technology, people and ideas driving every aspect of the evolving wireless ecosystem. The September event will focus heavily on 5G, entertainment and mobile, augmented and virtual reality, and there should be plenty of news and announcements coming from the major manufacturers and carriers.

Mobile is one of B-Stock’s fastest growing categories: we currently operate the world’s largest network of B2B marketplaces for returned, overstock, and trade-in mobile devices. Over eight million phones and accessories – from major carriers and manufacturers – are sold annually across our marketplaces.

If you’re planning to attend the show, feel free to stop by our booth at W.945 to meet the B-Stock Mobile Team who will be happy to answer any questions you might have about buying and selling phones at scale, and how the mobile secondary market is poised to explode.
