    Before

    Madrid Chamber of Commerce (31%) and Montemadrid Foundation.

    After

    Madrid Chamber of Commerce (31%) and Montemadrid Foundation (7%).

    Why: 3 issues fixed: IFEMA's ownership structure omits the fourth stakeholder's stake: Madrid City Council 31%, Community of Madrid 31%, Madrid Chamber of Commerce 31%, and Fundacion Montemadrid holds the remaining 7% (not left unstated). | MWC Barcelona's recent editions draw closer to 2,900+ exhibitors, not 2,500+ (attendee figure of 100,000+ is accurate). | FITUR's recent editions report approximately 9,500-10,000+ exhibitor companies, not approximately 8,000 (visitor and country figures are accurate).
