  • The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, took place this week.
  • The event saw world leaders, executives, and celebrities come together for a week of networking and parties.
  • Business Insider has put together some photos from the event.

With the curtain drawn on yet another World Economic Forum in Davos, the picturesque Swiss town will once again slink back out of the limelight.

But this year's event — which coincided with Donald Trump's return to the White House — will likely linger in the memory.

2025's forum saw a host of world leaders, executives, and celebrities come together in the Alpine town to discuss some of the hottest global topics, including AI, the workplace, DOGE, and social media.

It also saw protests, parties, and a virtual address from Trump himself.

Business Insider's editor in chief Jamie Heller was on the ground alongside BI's international editor Spriha Srivastava, deputy editor Dan DeFrancesco, and senior correspondent Hugh Langley.

Here's a look at the week through their eyes.

The Alpine town, which doubles as a ski resort, has hosted the WEF since 1971.
