On the evening of August 26 Beijing time, the World Economic Forum decided to reschedule the 2021 Annual Meeting, originally planned to take place in Davos, Switzerland, to early summer next year.
This was not an easy decision, because we urgently need global leaders to come together to discuss the path to recovery and achieve the “Great Reset” of the world in the post-pandemic era. However, experts advised that it would be difficult to hold the Annual Meeting safely in January.
During the week of January 25, 2021, we will convene high-level “Davos Dialogues” by video conference, inviting leading global figures to share their views on the state of the world.
We will announce further details, including the dates and location of the 2021 Annual Meeting, once the health and safety of participants and staff can be assured.
The Forum will continue to work with partners and stakeholders to address global, regional and industry challenges.
Since the outbreak of the pandemic in February, nearly 1,200 members from business, government and civil society have joined the Forum’s COVID Action Platform. In September, our Sustainable Development Impact Summit will focus on the core principles of the “Great Reset” and explore with participants how to contribute to building a more sustainable and inclusive future.
