The Atmosphere of Davos

Davos is perceived differently from a distance compared to being there in person, revealing a vibrant atmosphere contrary to popular belief. Attendees from diverse backgrounds gather to engage deeply in discussions, allowing for unexpected connections and collaborations, even among perceived adversaries. The experience promotes in-group creation among participants, fostering understanding and shared goals beyond mere networking. The opportunity for downtime at the start of the year helps attendees reflect on broader issues, encouraging them to think creatively about global challenges.
