The World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos remains the “summit of summits” for engaging leaders from business, government and beyond. Here’s how to get exclusive access to the event on 23-26 January.
What started out as a small gathering, founded by professor Klaus Schwab nearly 50 years ago, has grown into one of the most important events in the political and business calendar, drawing an elite guest list of CEOs, Heads of State, intellectuals, celebrities and even royalty from all over the globe.
The 48th World Economic Forum will reconvene in Davos, Klosters on 23-26 January 2018, and more than 3,000 global leaders will unite under the theme “Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World”.

For the first time, an entirely all-women panel, including IMF managing director Christine Lagarde and IBM Corporation chief executive Ginni Rometty, will co-chair the annual meeting, which aims to rededicate leaders from all walks of life to develop a shared narrative to improve the state of the world.
