It's a scheduling conflict most of us will never know. Some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people are staring down a decision as the first major events of the billionaire social calendar this year overlap. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20 coincides with the first day of Davos, an annual gathering of the world's business and politics elite in Davos, Switzerland, held by the World Economic Forum.
Main Idea: Donald Trump’s inauguration and the first day of Davos are happening at the same time, forcing billionaires and CEOs to choose between showing up in Washington or in Switzerland.
Key Points:
CEOs and big companies may spend more time courting Trump than solving consumer and worker problems, which could tilt policy toward large firms.
A closer link between Trump and business leaders could make the next administration more responsive to markets and jobs.
