The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) 48th annual meeting is coming to Davos, Switzerland next week. Here are the Davos attendees 2018.

The WEF’s organisers are expecting a record number of leaders from G7 economies to attend, along with many other heads of state, leaders of government and international organisations, and business, civil society, academia, the arts and media, with some 400 sessions planned.

US president Donald Trump caused a stir when his administration revealed earlier this month he would be attending — while German chancellor Angela Merkel might also be there, potentially setting up a showdown between Trump and the world’s globalist political establishment.

This year’s opening address will be delivered by India’s prime minister Narendra Modi, with Trump expected to deliver a keynote address before the close of the meeting.

Over 21 percent of participants at this year’s meeting will be women, a higher proportion than at any previous meeting and the event will be chaired by seven women — the first all-female panel in its history.
