What’s it like backstage in Davos? In Episode 3 of Season 2 of the Eurovision News Podcast, host Giles Gibson travels to the Swiss Alps for the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting.
The conference brings together the most influential figures in global business and politics. For journalists, it’s a chance to rub shoulders with people who shape the global economy. However, even the world leaders and top CEOs in attendance had no idea what to expect from U.S. President Donald Trump, whose speech dominated the conference.
We also hear about the cat-and-mouse game of trying to “doorstep” VIPs and why Davos is just different to other international summits.

From doorstepping VIPs to the "Trump effect," we take you inside the World Economic Forum’s inner circle
