Reference

How the 2026 week was put together

Thematic focus areas

Three conversations dominated the 2026 parallel programme. Knowing which one a room was having saved walking into the wrong one.

The Brain Economy

The Brain House represents a significant paradigm shift — treating cognitive health as 'Brain Capital', a quantifiable macroeconomic asset rather than a healthcare line item.

Patrick J. Kennedy on workforce mental health and its estimated $1T/year impact
Daniel Skovronsky (Eli Lilly) on biomarkers
WEF Brain Economy Report launch

Agentic AI Evolution

The transition from 'Generative AI' (2024/2025) to 'Agentic AI' (2026) defines this year's technology conversations — the question moved from what a model can write to what a system can be trusted to do.

Wipro Pavilion — autonomous enterprise sessions across three days
C3 AI Lounge — agentic AI for regulated industries
AI House — 40+ panels, closing summit on the Friday

Space Economy Expansion

Switzerland positions itself as neutral arbiter for space assets, with the House of Switzerland running the densest space programme of any national pavilion.

Swiss–Japan New Space Economy session
ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher keynote
Multiple commercial space station discussions

Consulting firms on the ground

Every major firm was a Strategic Partner, which meant panel seats rather than a storefront. Where a firm held its own space, it's named below.

Consulting firm presence
Firm	Role
McKinsey & Company	Strategic Partner — pre-Davos webinar (14 January)
Boston Consulting Group (BCG)	Strategic Partner — multiple panels
Deloitte	Deloitte Haus, Promenade 85 — Health Equity session, virtual (20 January)
PwC	Multiple sessions — Global CEO Survey launch (19 January)
KPMG	Strategic Partner — India session
EY	Strategic Partner — multiple panels
Accenture	Strategic Partner — technology sessions
Bain & Company	Strategic Partner
Kearney	Strategic Partner
Oliver Wyman	Via Marsh McLennan — risk sessions

Venue reference

Where the week actually happened. Addresses are as published — several are storefronts that change name year to year, so the street number matters more than the sign.

Strategic navigation

The week had a shape. Knowing it was the difference between a full calendar and a useful one.

Key networking windows
Time window	What it was good for
19:00–22:00	The golden hours — receptions and dinners, where relationships actually get built.
08:00–10:00	Breakfast events offer the most intimate access of the day.
12:00–14:00	Lunch sessions provide extended, seated networking.

How each day played
Days	Focus
Sunday–Monday	Arrive early, work the opening events, establish presence before the crowds land.
Tuesday–Wednesday	Peak networking. Prioritise evening receptions over daytime panels.
Thursday	Critical deal-making day. Follow up on everything from the first half of the week.
Friday–Saturday	Closing sessions and final networking, with far shorter queues everywhere.

Venue conflict advisory

Hotel National hosts both Belgium House and InTent, in different wings — check which one your invitation names.
Japan Night (19:15) collides with the CII India Reception and FT Live engagements.
House of Switzerland runs sessions in parallel across the Crystal Lounge and Nordside — pick a track rather than assuming you can do both.

The “UnDavos” circuit

For anyone arriving without WEF access, the alternative circuit — and the reason the Side Stage exists at all.

Hub Culture — the original shadow venue
Web3 Hub — Obere Strasse 33
Climate Hub — Kulturplatz
The Swedish Lunch — Hotel Schatzalp

Official hours and side event hours

Inside the Congress Centre

The official WEF programme operates 09:00–18:00 inside the Congress Centre.

Everywhere else

The parallel week operates 07:30–23:00 across the whole town — on the Promenade, in hotel lobbies, and in mountain restaurants many attendees never find.

Frequently asked questions

Did I need a WEF badge to attend Davos side events?

No — not for most of them. Promenade venues, the Web3 Hub and the majority of Houses ran on their own registration or invitation lists, entirely separate from WEF accreditation. The official Congress Centre sessions needed a White Badge; almost nothing else on this directory did. The exceptions are marked in the access column.

How many side events actually happened during Davos week 2026?

This directory maps 497 named sessions across 42 venues for 2026. The official WEF programme ran 09:00–18:00 inside the Congress Centre; the parallel week ran 07:30–23:00 across the whole town.

What 2026 gives us for 2027

The 2026 directory remains a reference point for the next Davos Week. When 2027 events are confirmed, they will be added alongside the 2026 record rather than replacing it.

Knowing what's on is half of it

The other half is knowing whether you can get across town in time. Zones and walking times covers the geography this directory assumes — including why a 10-minute walk on the map was rarely 10 minutes in January.

Searching by person rather than by session? The Side Stage centralises line-ups by speaker, purpose and interest.

Directory compiled by Davos Access from public listings, host sites and on-the-ground reporting — 497 events and counting. Event details reflect what was published for 2026 — side events moved venues and times right up to the week itself, and this archive keeps that record rather than correcting it after the fact.
