Davos Dialogues 2026

About Diplomatic Courier’s Davos Dialogues

Since 2014, Diplomatic Courier and World in 2050 have convened leaders, innovators, and system-shapers on the margins of the World Economic Forum annual meetings in Davos, to interrogate the forces reshaping our world. In 2026, as Diplomatic Courier marks its 20th anniversary, our presence in Davos expands in both scale and ambition, with 25+ members of our expert community attending as part of our delegation and more than a dozen curated gatherings convened alongside trusted partners and collaborators.

These convenings take place at a moment of global inflection. With the 2030 deadline for the UN Sustainable Development Goals rapidly approaching — and critical thresholds for human and planetary flourishing coming into view — the question is how quickly meaningful action can be mobilized.

Designed as spaces for momentum and uncommon collaboration rather than diagnosis, this year’s series moves decisively toward execution. From initiative launches to intimate salons and roundtables, the programme emphasizes action and collaboration. Together with institutional partners and members of the World in 2050 expert network, these gatherings aim to surface ideas ready for deployment and partnerships capable of carrying them forward in a world that no longer has the luxury of delay.
