Against a backdrop of global frictions and fractures, the Annual Meeting 2022 will bring world leaders together under the theme History at a Turning Point: Government Policies and Business Strategies. It will feature 500+ sessions including addresses by Heads of State, concerts and more!
What?
While 50 Global Shapers will join us in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland next month, we call on all Shapers to represent our community and uplift the perspectives of young people during the meeting!
As a member of the World Economic Forum network, you’re invited to participate by following live-streamed sessions, engaging with our social media and subscribing to our daily coverage.
In addition, we encourage you to host a Davos Watch Party and bring Global Shapers or local residents together around one session at the Annual Meeting. If your hub has a delegate representing you in Davos, this is also a great way to cheer for them.
