Facebook's Mark is making his first ever appearance next month Mobile world congress trade show In Barcelona to talk about the importance of mobile for Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg will join the likes of AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson and IBM CEO Virginia Rometty as a keynote speaker at the congress, which is set to kick off Feb. 24.
Though the trade show said Mr. Zuckerberg will discuss topics such as extending global Internet access, the appearance could also be an opportunity for the CEO to address increasing European skepticism about U.S.-based technology companies, amid the recent leaks on the U.S. National Security Agency’s monitoring of global data traffic.
Mr. Zuckerberg’s keynote is scheduled for 5 p.m. GMT Feb. 24, and WSJ’s Digits will be in Barcelona to cover the speech and the rest of the congress.
