Thrive Global
The world's top politicians, economists, businesspeople, and celebrities descended on Davos in Switzerland in January for the World Economic Forum's annual meeting.
Discussions at this year's event ranged from the threat of automation to jobs, Brexit, the lack of clean water in many communities, and what a Trump presidency means for the world.
Arianna Huffington, cofounder of The Huffington Post, is a long-time Davos attendee. This year she was attending in a new role, as CEO of Thrive, her new wellness startup.
Huffington sent us her photo diary of her busy week taking part in panels, being interviewed, and speaking with dignitaries high up in the Swiss mountains.
MONDAY, January 16: Snow and a glimpse of sun greet Huffington and their team as they make the drive in to Davos.
Thrive GlobalHuffington spoke at the Financial Times/WiPro Executive Dinner Forum about our relationship to technology in the "Second Machine Age" with Royal Dutch Shell chairman Charles Holliday, founding president of Google China and venture capitalist Kai-Fu Lee, CEO of Wipro Abidali Neemuchwala, and ABInBev VP of Sustainable Development Andy Wales.
Thrive GlobalHuffington said: "I loved spending time after the panel with Kai-Fu Lee whose inspiring story I wrote about in 'Thrive.' He was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, and it was his wake-up call — instead of continuing to 'compete with others to see who could sleep less,' he started prioritizing his health and wellbeing and went on to write an amazing book 'Finding Life in Death'.”
