The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting will be open to the public in 2021, its organizers announced in a press release Wednesday.
The meeting, better known as "Davos" after the Swiss ski resort that hosts it, is an elite gathering of billionaires and heads of state held every January.
The conference's theme will be "The Great Reset" and will focus on how capitalism can fix inequalities highlighted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The public will be able to participate in the 2021 meeting via WEF's "virtual hub network."
The conference has a reputation for wild parties hosted by the likes of Marc Benioff and an elitist badge system.
