Andrew Ross Sorkin has a great article in the NY Times today examining the cost of entry to Davos--literally. Wondrous gem #1:
"This year, all “Strategic Partners” are required to invite at least one woman along as part of an effort to diversify the attendee list."
'Strategic Partners' are the high-rolling attendees that plan to bring entourages of up to 5 people with them. The price tag for that qualification is $527,000. Which brings me to the next gem:
"At the moment, the forum says they are not accepting applications to become “strategic partners” unless the company is from China or India and must be one of the 250 largest companies in the world."
Someone's been reading The Economist lately.
