Singapore to host WEF Special Annual Meeting 2021

The annual meeting will return to Davos-Klosters, Switzerland in 2022.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) will hold the Special Annual Meeting 2021 in Singapore from 13 to 16 May 2021, the forum announced in a press release on 8 December.

The in-person meeting in 2021 will be the first global leadership event to discuss worldwide recovery from the ongoing pandemic.

The location change highlights the forum’s objective to put the health and safety of the participants and the host community first.

“The Special Annual Meeting 2021 will be a place for leaders from business, government and civil society to meet in person for the first time since the start of the global pandemic,” said WEF founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab. “Public-private cooperation is needed more than ever to rebuild trust and address the fault lines that emerged in 2020.”

The meeting’s location will return to Davos-Klosters, Switzerland in 2022.
