Currency Thoughts What has Davos done for us? | Analysis & Opinion | For more than four decades, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has pitched its annual shindig in Davos as a chance for powerful leaders in business, politics, media and academia to convene in one spot to trade ideas on how to solve the pressing global problems of the day. And for about as long, critics have dismissed the invitation-only event as nothing more than a glorified networking get-together for elites, or, as U2 singer Bono once called it, a meeting of “fat cats in the snow”. But are critics right to so quickly trash the Davos meeting? The WEF itself thinks so. Davos may have even helped stop a war. Add to that a milestone Davos meet-up between East and West German leaders on reunification in 1989 and the first ministerial-level meetings between North and South Korea that same year, and the annual ski-resort pow-wow doesn’t seem like such a superfluous affair after all. Philanthropists have also used the meeting to announce good deeds and drum up support for initiatives.

INSIDE DAVOS: What It's Like Inside One of the World's Most Exclusive Conferences [PICS] We're reporting this week from the World Economic Forum, in which top businesspeople, politicians, influencers and media gather to discuss the world's biggest problems and how to solve them. One part of that solution will be technology, and we're here to learn how tech is reshaping industries, communities and countries. What's it like here in Davos? We've already shown you the small Swiss town that just got invaded by the likes of Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, George Soros and Arianna Huffington, but how about seeing inside the Congress Centre, where the conference itself takes place? Once you get beyond the tight security — including metal detectors and an electronic scan of your attendee badge — you'll find the place swarming with world leaders and business people. There's a small social media and tech presence here, too — YouTube is gathering videos on world issues on behalf of the WEF, while Facebook is live streaming interviews to the web.
