8. Are #Davos participants genuinely committed to improve the world? Davos is a microcosm reflecting the state of the world. It is inhabited by the worst and best-intentioned individuals who - willingly or unwillingly - shape our daily lives. Anything can come out of #WEF20

7. Does it exist a ‘Davos consensus’? By sharing its powerful platform with non conventional actors, Davos isn’t just a place of consensus. Over the years, WEF moved away from convener to become advocate of policy priorities (against Brexit, pro carbon neutrality) #WEF2020

6. Does Davos actually deliver ? @davos is no problem-solver (it’s not the UN), but: a.Agenda-setter (make societies fairer,greener) b.Dot-connector (build unconventional alliances) c.Amplifier (not only the megaphone of the corporate elite, but to anyone) #Davos2020

5. What really goes on in #Davos? Panels are the most common format, in both official & side events. Meet the Leader sessions, speeches, nightcaps, country-sponsored parties, University receptions. In parallel tons of confidential bilateral meetings & other small gatherings

4.How secretive Davos is? Definitely less than what you think. 1. Virtually all public panels are LIVE streamed weforum.org/events/world-eco… 2. 1000 journalists will cover it 3. YouTube influencers will reach a new and younger audience #WEF20 @wef #Davos20

3.Who is behind Davos? The World Economic Forum is a NON-PROFIT foundation, with 800 employees, which offers a unique platform for engagement across corporate, public and civil society sectors (not only CEOs!) "to improve the state of the world" #WEF20 @wef #Davos20

1. What Davos is really about? While it’s easy to dismiss @Davos as a talkfest of the corporate elite, there are many more Davoses in Davos than those narrated by mainstream media. Otherwise I couldn't be / have been here. #WEF20 @wef #Davos20
