population of davos switzerland
For two weeks each January, the population of Davos, Switzerland, swells as the global elite meet for a series of discussions. Heads of state, captains of industry, prominent academics, philanthropists and a retinue of journalists, celebrities and hangers-on will descend Tuesday on Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum. For most of the year, Davos is a resort town high in the Swiss Alps with a population of just 11,000. But for two weeks each January, the townâs population swells to 30,000 as the global elite meet for a series of meetings and discussions about âentrepreneurship in the global public interest,â in what could be described as worldâs most expensive networking event.
