The clock above counts down to the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2027 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, expected to begin on Monday, January 18, 2027. The five-day gathering convenes around 3,000 senior leaders from business, government, civil society, and academia, framing the year's geopolitical and economic-policy agenda before the spring G7 and G20 cycles begin.
The WEF Annual Meeting is held every January at the Davos Congress Centre and the two main town hotels — Belvédère and Steigenberger — with the open public Promenade hosting national pavilions and corporate "houses." It is the longest-running of the WEF's flagship gatherings, dating to 1971 when Klaus Schwab founded what was then the European Management Forum. The Forum is a Swiss not-for-profit foundation under the supervision of the Swiss federal government.
The 2027 edition lands at a particularly delicate moment for multilateralism: the second Trump administration's trade and AI posture, the EU's Defence Readiness Strategy, the post-COP31 climate-finance debate, and the global AI-safety regime under the EU AI Act will all dominate. Davos serves as the year's first major coordination point between CEOs, finance ministers, and central-bank governors before the spring IMF-World Bank meetings.
Expect headline tracks on AI governance and frontier-model deployment, the global trade order and economic security, climate finance after Antalya, the future of work after generative-AI adoption, mineral and energy security, and global health architecture. The annual Global Risks Report typically launches the week before the meeting, and the Forum's Industry Strategy Officers and Champions communities run technical sessions throughout.
Plenary sessions stream live on weforum.org/events/world-economic-forum-annual-meeting and on the WEF YouTube channel. CNBC, Bloomberg TV, the Financial Times, and Reuters anchor on-site coverage. Standard hashtag: #wef27 or #Davos2027.
Pair this with peer multilateral milestones: G7 UK 2027, G20 UK 2027, G7 Évian 2026, APEC Shenzhen 2026, and BRICS Summit 2027.
When is Davos 2027? Expected Monday, January 18 to Friday, January 22, 2027. Where is it held? Davos-Klosters, Graubünden, Switzerland — primarily at the Congress Centre. Why does Davos matter? It is the year's first major convening of CEOs, government leaders, and multilateral chiefs, and frames the policy agenda before the spring G7/G20 cycle. Is Davos open to the public? No — admission is by WEF invitation, but plenaries are streamed live and free.
