10th ZEIT Reception Davos 2026

The pace of global change is relentless. Economic headwinds, technological leaps, and shifting world orders are putting the agility and foresight of leaders to the test. Yet amid this turbulence lies a rare opportunity to rethink, reinvent, and lead with purpose.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, DIE ZEIT and KPMG invite you to the ZEIT Reception at the Grandhotel Belvédère on January 20, 2026, where we will explore how volatility can be transformed into lasting opportunities. Together with global pioneers and decision-makers, we aim to uncover what it takes to foster resilience and growth when the rhythms of the world diverge. In this context, we will examine how new alliances, bold strategies, and forward-looking innovations can shape the next chapter of leadership—and how organizations can harness uncertainty as a catalyst for progress.

Marking the tenth anniversary of the ZEIT Reception under the theme “Turning Tides: Navigating Growth in a World Out of Sync,” we look beyond today’s uncertainties to focus on tomorrow’s possibilities. Join an event that not only responds to change but sets the agenda for the future. Be part of the conversation that drives ideas and inspiration for what comes next.

We look forward to welcoming you in Davos!

Participation in the event is by personal invitation only and is exclusively reserved for C-level executives.
