You have to take the opportunity to allow it.
The new way to Experience Davos
Global Conversations offers a new way to experience Davos 2026 - curated, flexible, and built around meaningful access throughout the World Economic Forum week.
Our Wristbands come in five tiers, from Orange to Black, each adding access to private events, lounges, and community-driven experiences. All include the Secure Hotel Badge (subject to background check).
Designed to complement the official WEF badge, the Wristband provides seamless access across our network and helps guests navigate Davos smoothly. Each guest is onboarded to our portal with event details, schedules, speakers, and messaging tools. While we are not affiliated with the World Economic Forum, many of our participants are official WEF Partners. 85% of our clients are WEF Partners.
Our mission is to strengthen the Davos ecosystem by creating opportunities for companies and leaders to experience why being here is so impactful - and many later become WEF Partners. Something we are proud of.
This is your chance to secure access to high-level venues, curated events, and exclusive lounges like The Flower Shop and Belvedere Executive. Pre-orders are fully refundable until 1 November 2025 and lock in access before prices rise this fall. Availability is limited and tiers have previously sold out.

Signature Moments — Curated Conversations & Experiences
The GC Wristband gives pre-approved access to the signature moments that make Davos such a magical place
The Real Summit Happens Over Dinner
Some of the most meaningful moments in Davos unfold behind closed doors - over dinner. With your GC Wristband, you gain access to exclusive private dinners where world leaders, innovators, and investors come together to connect, exchange ideas, and build lasting partnerships.
Black Tier guests are invited to ultra-private dinners with just 8–16 carefully selected participants. These are intimate, highly curated gatherings built on trust, discretion, and shared purpose — where real agendas emerge, and history is sometimes made.
Gold Tier guests join larger private dinners (20+ guests), designed for dynamic connection, opportunity, and meaningful interaction across industries and regions.
Choose your access. Enable the interaction.
Experiences Happen Away from the Spotlight
With your GC Wristband, you gain access to Davos most defining gatherings - from the iconic Swedish Lunch at Schatzalp with global leaders, to the Avicii Tribute Concert at Belvedere, and closed-door dinners where influence becomes personal.
Black Tier guests join ultra-private dinners with just a few handful of guests, +1 to most GC events including priority seating & access, external event access (TBA).
Gold Tier guests are welcomed to larger private dinners, executive lounge access, +1 invitation to the Avicii Tribute Concert and more.
Silver Tier guests get pre-approved invitations to selected events including the renowned The Swedish Lunch and Flower Shop Lounge access.
In Davos, the true summit doesn’t happen on stage. It happens at the table, in the music, and in the unexpeted meetings on the magic mountain.
Choose your access. Enable your Experience.
Create your Moments
Davos is all about the unexpected meeting… Now you can take charge in creating the unexpected
The Flower Shop Lounge
Just steps from Secure Hotel Badge pickup, the Flower Shop Lounge is back - a curated welcome point and home base for Silver, Gold, and Black Wristband holders.
Last year, thousands dropped in. This year, it’s even better.
Expect cozy meeting areas, concierge support, charging stations, printing services, and light refreshments - all in a peaceful setting just off the Promenade. Whether you’re checking in, taking a breather, or making spontaneous connections, the Lounge is your trusted space throughout the week.
Reserved access for Silver, Gold, and Black Wristbands only.
The Executive Lounge
Tucked inside the Secure Zone at the iconc Belvedere Hotel, the Global Conversations Executive Lounge premiers with a premium space for short, high-value moments - discreet meetings, brief recharge sessions, and spontaneous connections. Guests enjoy light refreshments, Wi-Fi, concierge support, and evening receptions in an elevated, calm environment.
This lounge is suited for shorter visits - ideal between events, a quick video call with your loved ones, for a quick bite, or for a brief afternoon reset. To maintain its ambiance and availability, we have designed the lounge for purposeful touchpoints rather than extended stays or virtual work.
Black Tier – Pre-book private meeting slots at communcal seats
Gold Tier – Enjoy flexible drop-in access
The Private Office
Ever considered hosting a smaller event but unsure how to proceed?
We offer a discreet Private Office inside the Belvedere Hotel, available for booking during Davos week. This refined, quiet space is ideal for high-level breakfasts, intimate lunches, bilateral meetings, or evening nightcaps - without the need for a public venue or large footprint.
Seats 6–8 guests comfortably
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or mid-day meeting slots available throughout WEF week
Includes F&B options, additional secure hotel badge allocation, guest & service coordination
Black & Gold Tier guests receive additional complimentary F&B credits
Whether you’re closing a deal or gathering trusted clients, the Private Room offers a rare opportunity to host with intention — in the heart of Davos.
