Suggested change

Deutsche Messe Hannover, Messe München, and Fira de Barcelona Gran Via.

Why this is better

3 issues fixed: MWC Barcelona's venue is misnamed. The correct venue name is 'Fira de Barcelona Gran Via' (often shortened to 'Fira Gran Via'), not plain 'Fira Barcelona' which is ambiguous/imprecise (Fira de Barcelona operates multiple venues). | The claim that MWC Barcelona's lead-capture reality is 'Swapcard (meetings) + GSMA badge scan' names a specific platform combination that is not verifiable. MWC's actual badge/lead-retrieval system is Fira Barcelona's own Lead Retrieval service used alongside the GSMA-branded 'MWC Series App'; no public source confirms 'GSMA badge scan' as an official named system or that Swapcard is MWC's meetings platform. | The claim that ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) uses 'Brella + Swapcard' as its lead retrieval system is unverifiable and not confirmed by any public source; ISE's official show app (via iseurope.org) provides its own badge-scan/lead-tracking feature, with no public mention of Brella as ISE's platform.
