At the moment, there are 15 slots available for the Davos Delegate Package, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. These slots will also be extended to partner organizations and outside delegates, including those who are not current or Executive Fellows with The Digital Economist. Given the high demand during Davos week, we recommend booking early, as these slots are expected to fill up quickly.

The accommodations booked by The Digital Economist are typically located 30 to 60 minutes from the Davos City Center and the main event venues. The hotel is easily accessible via a scenic train ride along the Rhaetian Railway, part of the UNESCO World Heritage route renowned for its stunning alpine landscapes and engineering beauty. This arrangement not only provides a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the Promenade but also offers a uniquely Swiss travel experience.

Absolutely! While The Digital Economist can help facilitate connections and introduce you to key contacts, you are encouraged to arrange meetings independently as well. Using digital platforms and reaching out directly to organizations or individuals you’d like to meet with is an effective way to maximize your experience.

Swiss culture is known for its formality, punctuality, and respect for personal space. Make an effort to be on time for meetings and events, and dress appropriately, typically in business attire. While English is widely spoken at all events, learning a few basic phrases in German or French can be appreciated.

The Digital Economist will be pleased to assist in securing the visa invitation letter required for a short-term Swiss Schengen Type C visa. This letter must come from either a Swiss-based organization or a European citizen inviting you to the Schengen area. If you require such a letter, please inform us no later than November 30, 2025. We strongly recommend initiating the process as early as possible, as embassies often require adequate time to review and process visa applications ahead of the Annual Meetings.

You are welcome to join The Digital Economist’s 2026 Davos Delegation and stay within our reserved hotel block for Executive Fellows, designed for convenience, colocation, and community throughout the week. All accommodations and logistics are secured well in advance, and private shuttle services will be available in the evenings following our hosted events to take delegates back to their accommodations. To confirm your place in the delegation, please contact davos@thedigitaleconomist.com no later than November 30, 2025, as spaces within the hotel block and delegation are limited and finalized well in advance

Planning is essential. As an Executive Fellow, you will receive access to The Digital Economist’s curated master list of over 200 events taking place across Davos during the week. At any given hour, you may find yourself triple-booked, underscoring the need to plan strategically. Registering early is key. We strongly recommend registering for events on an ongoing basis and for as many sessions as possible, as most gatherings in Davos are highly curated and invitation-based—organizers often handpick participants who align with their objectives. Early and broad registration maximizes your chances of being selected and ensures you don’t miss opportunities to engage in meaningful discussions. With eight years of active engagement at Davos, The Digital Economist has built deep relationships and unparalleled access across venues, communities, and leadership circles. As part of this ecosystem, Executive Fellows benefit directly from these networks, gaining entry to exclusive events, private briefings, and connections that can significantly amplify both personal and professional impact.

Yes, networking opportunities abound outside the main events. Many attendees organize private meetings, dinners, and informal gatherings to connect with other leaders. The Promenade is a central area for spontaneous encounters and networking, with a variety of pop-up venues and lounges during the week.

Accommodations in Davos range from luxury hotels to more modest lodges and guesthouses. Most accommodations are booked well in advance for the week, often through multi-year contracts. If you’re booking independently, we recommend doing so as early as possible to secure availability.

Most key venues and event locations in Davos provide reliable internet access for attendees. However, if you’re staying outside of Davos, we recommend picking up a Swiss SIM card at Zurich Airport upon arrival. This will ensure you have mobile data for connectivity throughout your stay.

Navigating between events in Davos is simple and efficient, as most venues are within walking distance. You can cover the entire length of the Promenade in about 25 to 30 minutes, which is often the most reliable and efficient way to get around, especially during busy hours. There are two train stations—one at the north end and another at the south end of town—allowing you to reach the opposite end in just five minutes. Local bus services also run frequently and make multiple stops along the Promenade for those who prefer not to walk; however, they can be delayed by heavy traffic during peak times. For evening events, The Digital Economist will provide private shuttles for delegates, departing shortly after each hosted event to take attendees directly to their accommodations.

Security is extensive during the Annual Meetings, with checkpoints throughout the area, especially near the Promenade and main event venues. Be prepared to show identification frequently, and allow extra time for travel due to potential security delays. Hotel badges and other credentials are required to access secure areas, so keep them with you at all times.

Davos in January is cold, with temperatures often dropping below freezing. We recommend packing warm clothing, including layers, a heavy winter coat, gloves, scarves, and waterproof boots. Additionally, business attire is expected for most events, so plan to bring both professional and warm clothing.

Swiss public transport is widely regarded as the best in the world, and Davos is no exception, with regular, highly reliable train and bus services running throughout the day to key locations, including the Promenade. However, for evening or dinner events, private transportation becomes essential—especially for those staying outside of Davos—as as trains do not run late into the night. Exact departure times can be verified at sbb.ch, but it is generally expected that attendees joining dinner events will miss the last train out of town. If traveling by car or shuttle, please also account for potential traffic delays entering or leaving Davos from both the north and south routes, as well as time for the security checkpoint. We recommend allowing a 30–60 minute buffer when traveling to or from key meetings or events.

Yes, The Digital Economist team will organize pre-Davos virtual meetings for Executive Fellows. These sessions are designed to brief delegates on what to expect and offer tips for maximizing their Davos experience. This will give you a chance to connect with fellow attendees and start building relationships before you arrive.

The Digital Economist facilitates high-level networking with global leaders through exclusive events, roundtables, and discussions. Our support helps you build a packed schedule and ensures you have a clear view of your calendar before you depart. While registration for events requires your personal details—such as for hotel badge security checks—your week will be filled with nearly non-stop networking opportunities. Whether through The Digital Economist-hosted events, partner events, private dinners, panels, or one-on-one meetings, your Davos experience will be dynamic and engaging.
