Once a year, global elites from all sectors attend a five-day conference in the snow-capped town of Davos, Switzerland – which is supplemented by caviar, champagne, and all types of debauchery after hard work is over.
The World Economic Forum 2024 is kicking off this week, with world leaders and business executives convening for discussions and events surrounding the most prominent issues of the day.
The theme this year is ‘Rebuilding Trust’ – and will be attended by 3,000 guests.
But when they descend on the small Alpine resort town of Davos, attendees do more than just discuss global conflicts, the economy, and the evolution of technology. They bond and build business bridges with one another at A-list soirees and parties.
CEOs and dignitaries mingle over caviar bumps, $1,000 bottles of champagne and luxurious parties that only the elite in the world are able to get an invite to.

One person, who attends the forum often, told The NYPost: ‘You can almost smell the magic of the place when you’re there. Everyone’s got an agenda and you never know who you’re going to run into when you come out of the restroom. It could be Bill Gates.
‘You’re around some of the smartest people in the world but one thing you learn is that they’re not always so smart.’
Skybridge Capital founder and chairman Anthony Scaramucci said: ‘If you look up namedropping in the dictionary you’ll see a photo of Davos.
‘But you know what? I’ve never left the mountain without learning something important or making a new friend.’
Scaramucci, who has attended Davos for years, is hosting a wine soirée at the Hotel Europe during the conference – where bottles of wine and champagne will set you back nearly $1,000 a bottle.
In the past, Scaramucci has had the likes of Matt Damon, Richard Branson, Andrea Bocelli and Jill Biden at his WEF parties.
Other world heavyweights, like Tesla CEO Elon Musk, previously declined to attend, in his own words, ‘because it sounded boring af lol.’
Last year, other high-end events and selective soirees organized after the talks ended for the day offered esteemed guests more than just alcohol.
A psychedelics company offered people micro-doses of magic mushrooms to delegates during the 40-session and speaker ‘Medical Psychedelics House of Davos.’
In 2022, Maria Velcova, one of the organizers of Psychedelic House of Davos, said: ‘We spark curiosity with the neon sign out front. Once people get curious and brave enough to come down here, they realize that this isn’t some underground electronic dance party.

In 2016, five Swiss soldiers deployed to protect the World Economic Forum in Davos were sent home after testing positively for cocaine, the Swiss army said.
Seven more were disciplined for cannabis consumption after all 12, returning from leave, were suspected of intoxication.
‘All 12 soldiers consumed cannabis and five of them additionally consumed cocaine,’ Swiss army spokesman Stefan Holder said. ‘These five were immediately sent home. The others are receiving disciplinary punishment during their duty.’
Other debaucheries are also present at Davos. Last year, it was reported that sex workers who descended the snowy Swiss town were charging $2,500 a night for their services during the forum.
