Annual Meetings are generally in Davos, Switzerland, attended by about 2200 people

The WEF is in the habit of holding Annual Meetings, which take place in Davos, Switzerland. On the occasion of the 50th such meeting, the group wrote that "'The spirit of Davos' is an attitude of openness and cooperation that sets the tone for the annual meeting to this day".[1]

Guests

The WEF's "spirit of Davos" does not seem to extend as far as publishing the guest lists of their AGMs, and so the lists of meetings and guests here are far from complete, although attendance lists of recent meetings have found their way into the public domain.

Currently just 18 WEF AGMs listed here, with a total of 13976 guests.
