达沃斯论坛新手必备指南

Stephen Gandel 2014-01-24
全球精英们,当你们身处达沃斯之时,就不要在钢琴酒吧之类的地方浪费宝贵时间了,要跟比尔•盖茨这类大人物进行至少一次可以在微博上吹牛的对话。还有,别忘了品尝当地的奶酪火锅,登山滑雪。毕竟,与会的大多数人可能一辈子只有一次参加达沃斯论坛的机会。

    报名参加晚宴

    达沃斯有一些小型晚宴,只需要100美元,大约100人参加,你可以报名参加这样的宴会。这些宴会非常棒。我就曾在这样的宴会上见到过经济学家约瑟夫•斯蒂格利茨、罗伯特•席勒、肯尼斯•罗格夫和拉古拉姆•拉詹。他们谈到了我们为什么没能预见金融危机,还有经济学的限制等问题。与座谈会不同,他们的辩论非常有趣,而且你可以参与其中。

    品尝奶酪火锅

    至少拿出一个晚上,从鸡尾酒会上偷偷溜走,乘缆车到山顶,自己安安静静地享受一顿美餐。品尝奶酪火锅,欣赏山下的美景,这恐怕会是你在一周的大会期间第一次真正感觉心满意足。但要知道,奶酪火锅可是双人份,而你的手机可不算人头。另外需要牢记的是,晚些时候在钢琴酒吧遇到同事时,你得自己编一个故事。他可能刚刚与博诺、比尔•盖茨和其他人共进亲密晚餐。你是和谁一起共进的晚餐呢?千万别去钢琴酒吧了。

    滑雪

    你会把全部时间用来尽可能接触更多人,从专家讨论中搜集任何有价值的信息。这样做都是为了引起同事的注意,向自己的老板证明,花几万美元送你来达沃斯是值得的。你或许会想,明年再来的时候一定要去滑雪。可明年也许不会再有机会了。你的新老板,或者新老板的老板可能很喜欢达沃斯。所以,趁现在赶快去滑雪吧。或者选择更有趣的方式,在晚上乘雪橇一路疾驰到山下。毕竟,来达沃斯的机会,也许就这一次。(财富中文网)

    Sign up for the dinners

    For about $100, Davos has smallish dinners, about 100 people, that you can sign up for. Do it. They are great. The one I went to included economists Joseph Stiglitz, Robert Shiller, Kenneth Rogoff, and Raghuram Rajan, talking about why we missed the financial crisis and the limits of economics. Unlike the panels, it was a very interesting debate, and you can actually join in.

    Have fondue

    At least one night, ditch the cocktail parties and take the funicular up the mountain for a quiet meal by yourself. Enjoy the fondue and the view, and the first time all week that you actually feel satiated. But know that the fondue is actually meant for two, and your phone doesn't count. And also keep in mind that you will have to make up a story when you run into your colleague later that night at the piano bar. He just had an intimate dinner with Bono, Bill Gates, and a few others. Who did you eat with? Don't go to the piano bar.

    Go skiing

    You will spend the whole time trying to make as many contacts as possible and bringing back whatever nuggets of information you can from the panel discussions. This is all to impress your colleagues and prove to your boss it was worth the tens of thousands it cost to send you. Next year, you will go skiing, you might think. There won't be a next year. You will get a new boss, or a new boss's boss who loves to go to Davos. So go skiing. Or better yet, go hurling down the mountain at night on a sled. You're only at Davos once.
