World Economic Forum, Davos Conference Criticism, and Robert Scoble
The World Economic Forum in Davos is characterized as a "conference scam" and a "drinking club" for the global elite and journalists. Criticism is directed at the high costs for venture capital firms to participate and the lack of substantive news coming out of the event. Tech personality Robert Scoble and Google executives are mentioned in relation to the exclusive nature of travel to the Swiss summit.
