BOLD FACED Names at WEF2010 in Davos

Brad Pitt.  Lady GaGa.  Madonna.  Britney Spears.  Justin Timberlake.  Bono.  Montgomery Burns.

These luminaries of entertainment were not at the World Economic Forum last week in Davos, Switzerland.  Or, if they were, I certainly didn’t see them.  Although, Monty Burns would have been a welcome addition.

I thought I would post a list of names of people that I did see or run into at WEF.  Not to (only) namedrop, but just to demonstrate who the attendees of the conference actually are…to give you a sense of who attends…and that, really, it’s just a conference…with a lot of important government, media, business and academic people attending.

From Cisco: our Chairman and CEO John Chambers attended, along with EVP and Chief Globalization Officer Wim Elfrink...as well as our President of Europe, Chris Dedicoat; and President of Emerging Markets, Paul MountfordTae Yoo, our SVP of Corporate Affairs also attended.  (Their names link to videos that they did while at WEF).

John Chambers participated on a plenary panel on “Rebuilding Education for the 21st Century,” which you can view here.  Fellow panelists were H.M. Queen Rania of Jordan, Irina Bokova, Trevor Manuel, Harold McGraw III and Riz Khan.
