The 2020 World Economic Forum annual meeting kicked off today in Davos, Switzerland, and all of our favorite Big 4 ringleaders from PwC, Deloitte, EY, and KPMG are there and accounted for: BoMo, T-Ry, Punit, Carmine, Kelly, and Lynne.
We got the obligatory scenic Swiss Alps shots:

And it wouldn’t be a World Economic Forum without Big 4 firms releasing a report or two:
We just launched our 23rd Annual Global #CEOSurvey at @wef in #Davos. Find out what 1,581 #CEOs from 83 territories say about growth, technology regulation, upskilling & climate change. See here: https://t.co/IzTcqQWrGH pic.twitter.com/Vd3reZalGe

And Big 4 CEOs have never met a television or streaming camera they didn’t like:
Optimism slowed as CEOs shifted into 'wait and see' mode this year amid uncertainty on trade, policy, market, etc. – and yet, US CEOs continue to be bullish on their own ability to drive revenue by focusing on conquering issues in their own realms of influence. #CEOSurvey #WEF20 https://t.co/pDXiyjrA6n

With Mark Weinberger not at Davos this year, one thing that stands out is the lack of facial hair among the Big 4 Davos attendees—unless BoMo is rockin’ a goatee but I doubt it.
UPDATE: Nope, no goatee for Bob.
