Annual meeting in Davos
A sports shop has turned into a temporary informal reception location "Caspian Week", WEF 2018.
The flagship event of the World Economic Forum is the invitation-only annual meeting held at the end of January in Davos, Switzerland, bringing together chief executive officers from its 1,000 member companies, as well as selected politicians, representatives from academia, NGOs, religious leaders, and the media in an alpine environment. The winter discussions ostensibly focus around key issues of global concern (such as the globalization, capital markets, wealth management, international conflicts, environmental problems and their possible solutions).[11][62] The participants also take part in role playing events, such as the Investment Heat Map.[63] Informal winter meetings may have led to as many ideas and solutions as the official sessions.[64]
At the 2018 annual meeting, more than 3,000 participants from nearly 110 countries participated in over 400 sessions. Participation included more than 340 public figures, including more than 70 heads of state and government and 45 heads of international organizations; 230 media representatives and almost 40 cultural leaders were represented.[65]
As many as 500 journalists from online, print, radio, and television take part, with access to all sessions in the official program, some of which are also webcast.(66) Not all the journalists are given access to all areas, however. This is reserved for white badge holders. "Davos runs an almost caste-like system of badges", according to BBC journalist Anthony Reuben. "A white badge means you're one of the delegates – you might be the chief executive of a company or the leader of a country (although that would also get you a little holographic sticker to add to your badge), or a senior journalist. An orange badge means you're just a run-of-the-mill working journalist."(67) All plenary debates from the annual meeting also are available on YouTube(68) while photographs are available on Flickr.
