We Did It! Davos Bound!

Categories: Davos, Events, Travel. 4 Comments »

We did it! Thanks to ALL OF YOU and my many other supporters, you have helped me win the opportunity to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland as the citizen journalist for MySpace and the Wall Street Journal.

You were the sixth judge. Every vote you cast, helped me with the community vote. The other judges were the CEO of MySpace, CEO of News International, Managing Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Head of Communications for the World Economic Forum and the winner from last year. You’re in good company.

I’m on a jet plane TODAY for Switzerland and I’ll be there all week representing all of you and meeting world leaders, global thinkers, CEOs and activists. Where can you catch all the blogging goodness? So glad you asked!

First, all posts (blogs, photos and video) start on the MySpace Journal page. Those will also be syndicated on The Wall Street Journal online.

After 24hours on those outlets, I will repurpose some of the content on my blog and you might see it around the web in other places too. And I’ll continue to blog and write about my experiences when I’m back. And of course, you can catch my up-to-the-minute updates on Twitter where I’m @sloane and will be using the hashtag #wef. Let me also recommend following @davos and their awesome Twitter list of WEFMedia.

If YOU were attending Davos, who would you want to meet? What question would you ask of our world’s leaders?

Ask me and I’ll do the digging and reporting for you. It’s going to be a whirlwind, but I can handle it. Don’t worry, I got this! Can’t wait to share my experiences with you.

Davos Bound,
Sloane

Very excited you're in Davos, Sloane (and wishing I could be a fly on the wall there!). Been following your blog/twitter feeds and thoroughly enjoying them….I checked out the schedule of sessions, and I'd be interested in hearing more about is what global leaders (governemental and non-governmenetal) are saying about this whole “redesign of the global economy,” and how that relates to new/changing models of philanthropy, foreign assistance, humanitarian aid, etc. I saw a lot of separate sessions focused on these issues, but it seems like the areas have to work in some level of unison for long-lasting poverty reduction/development. Also curious how social networks plays into the discussions. Can't wait to hear about it…thanks!
