The downswing in Davos parties

Still, the pendulum does seem to be swinging back, a little bit, from Davos towards the WEF. And that’s probably a good thing if only because it might allow the people here to get a bit more sleep. Davos will never be relaxing, of course. But yesterday morning I was very impressed to hear Heather McGregor, the FT’s Mrs Moneypenny columnist, declare after doing a TV hit that she was heading back to her flat to sit back and enjoy the spectacular Alpine view, rather than launching headlong into conference schmoozing. Maybe the smart new way of organising private events at Davos is to make sure that they only involve yourself.
