How to Davos
What not to miss, and where the afters are
The programme ends around ten. The week doesn't. We know which bars and lobbies the real conversations move to, and when to show up.

Where to staySee who is speaking where
Explore the Side Stage: speakers, side events and the programmes shaping the week.
Explore the Side StageThe questions we get asked most, or hear reviewed:
- 01Tell us a secret. Where's the best food this Davos WEF week?
- 02Which reception is pouring actual Bordeaux Grand Cru this week?
Then the ones that actually cost you hours:
- 03How long between places once snow and security are involved?
- 04Which hotel lobbies still work for a real conversation?
- 05Where can you meet privately that isn't your room?
- 06Where does the evening continue after the schedule ends?
The week is a puzzle of place, timing, and access. We have watched this town change over twelve years, from a quieter, more closed week to the dense parallel programme that exists now. That is what gives us the clarity to solve that puzzle, and the trust to guide your week.
Accommodation, walking distance and proximity
Hotels, chalets and apartments in Davos Platz, Davos Dorf and Klosters carry different walking times, security checkpoints and evening access under real January conditions. Your base is a time decision. The wrong zone quietly costs you hours every day.
The unofficial programme
The Week, Day by Day
A Davos day has its own rhythm: breakfast meeting, morning panel, lunch, another meeting, an afternoon reception, dinner, then a nightcap that runs later than anyone plans. Not every one of those has a public listing. What we do track is below.
Nothing listed for this day and filter yet — check back closer to January, or try another day.
Days and times are provisional and follow each host's own published schedule — always check closer to January.
Speaking at a side event?
Tell us where and when. We list speakers on the Side Stage for free and we never charge anyone to be listed.
