Using social as a window into the Davos conversation

Each day, as the agenda shifts, the conversation shifts in real-time. On WEFLIVE you can get a glimpse of the largest drivers of the conversation.

On Monday, January 22, as people started to arrive in Davos, we saw mentions of snow and excitement about being there. The following day, the conversation shifted to events on the ground and some of the main speakers, such as the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who gave the opening session.

During the first day, and days running up to the meeting, WEFLIVE has tracked the hottest topics and we continue to see the theme of the digital economy driving interest and conversation on Twitter. Cryptocurrency, AI, cybersecurity and digital transformation are all moving the needle on this topic.

Women and gender equality is another topic that has consistently appeared in the trends infographic over the past few days. KPMG has been supporting and driving this conversation with a bold video campaign, Women’s Voices.

Women such as Helen Clark, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand; Multi-Grammy winning singer and songwriter Annie Lennox, and Carolyn Tastad, head of Procter & Gamble North America, have added their voices to the discussion.
