The 45th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum will take place from January 21-24 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, with 'The New Global Context' as its theme.
Around 2,500 leaders from business, government, international organisations, civil society, academia, media and the arts would participate.
"The 45th Annual Meeting of the WEF, which will take place 21-24 January in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, is to convene under the theme, The New Global Context," WEF said in a statement.
The theme for this year would be the New Global Context, which reflects the current period of political, economic, social and technological change that the world has entered, which has the potential to end the era of economic integration and international partnership that began in 1989.
Before the annual meeting in Davos, the WEF would hold its India Economic Summit in New Delhi next month.
The Annual Meeting 2015 will provide a platform for over 50 initiatives that are currently being led by the Forum.
Supporting these endeavours, the Meeting's programme will feature over 250 sessions.
Moreover, this programme would be more open to the public than ever before, with over 20 televised sessions and an expanded multilingual webcast capability covering 60 sessions, all contributing to a real-time conversation to be played out over social media as well as the Forum's own award-winning blog.
