World Economic Forum - 1/21-1/24 - Davos, Switzerland - The average cost to attend Davos is about $40,000, half of it being the cost of an attendee’s ticket, but it’s not a problem for hedge-funders Steve Cohen and George Soros or Indian billionaires who gather every year to brainstorm with leaders including Bill Gates and Bill Clinton. If debating the big issues of the year isn’t your thing, you can always head to the Snow Polo World Cup in nearby in St. Moritz or to Singapore to Art Stage, the leading Asian art fair focused on contemporary art.
