The who's who of the business world celebrates in Davos

It is the grand finale of the DLD Conference in Munich and the social highlight of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos: the DLD Focus Nightcap. The party took place last night (16 January), once again marking the traditional start of the WEF. DLD founder Steffi Czerny, DLD Chairman Yossi Vardi and Focus Editor-in-Chief Georg Meck invited more than 300 guests to the Swiss Alps. At the Steigenberger Belvédère Hotel, Burda Executive Board members Katharina Herrmann, Philipp Welte and Marc Al-Hames welcomed the distinguished guests in person.

The prominent party guests included international business leaders, politicians, investors, artists, and media producers such as Oliver Blume (Volkswagen Group), Thomas Saueressig (SAP), Christian Sewing (Deutsche Bank), Fatoumata Ba (Janngo Capital), Stefan Hartung (Robert Bosch), Ana Paula Assis (IBM), Jonas Andrulis (Aleph Alpha), Horst von Buttlar (Wirtschaftswoche), Angie Gifford (Meta), Hildegard Wortmann (Audi AG), Helmut Reisinger (Palo Alto Networks), KI-scientist and author Gary Marcus, Astronaut Matthias Maurer (European Space Agency, ESA), Eva Maydell (European Parliament) and architect Francis Kéré.

The "Tegernseer Tanzlmusi", a Bavarian brass band from Kreuth at the Lake Tegernsee, provided international flair and atmosphere, while the "LiquidChefs" from London served finger food and cocktails.
