18-23 January 2026
Davos, Switzerland

The new way to Experience Davos

Global Conversations offers a curated, flexible way to experience Davos 2026 alongside the World Economic Forum - giving guests meaningful access to the private ecosystem that surrounds the official program.

We are not affiliated with the WEF, but many of our participants are official WEF Partners. The Global Conversations Wristband is your key to navigating Davos with clarity and access. Wristband holders gain entry to a coordinated ecosystem of curated events - including executive lounges, private breakfasts, nightcaps, dinners, roundtables, and cultural gatherings.

Instead of navigating Davos alone, the wristband connects you to the people, spaces, and conversations shaping AI, energy, cybersecurity, defense, sustainability, longevity, and more - in total almost 30 events.

Our mission is to strengthen the broader Davos ecosystem by helping leaders and companies engage strategically throughout the week. Many of our guests later advance into direct WEF partnerships - something we are proud to support.

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 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.

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.

From early mornings at the Flower Shop to late-night conversations across snowy rooftops - Davos is what it is because of the people who come together to form unexpected meetings! We were thrilled to host our guests in 2025 and we are already working to make 2026 our most meaningful year yet, and we truly hope you’ll be part of it!
