The insiders’ guide to the best events at the 2023 Davos Economic Forum

illuminem continues its collaboration with the world’s leading events (after COP27, London Climate Tech Show, Rethink Honk Kong, NY Climate Week, etc.) to bring Sustainability at the front of the global debate and share the latest insights from our 600+ Thought Leaders.

Our editorial team drafted an exclusive insiders’ guide to the best in-person events at this year’s Davos Annual Economic Forum. While our team will do its best to keep this calendar updated, please note that the timing of some events might change last minute. And as always in our style, events with particular attention to sustainability & social responsibility are highlighted with the symbol 🌱.

"With our wishes that an unprecedented snowless Davos could focus everyone's attention on bold climate action."
