Cameron Sinclair on his experience of Davos:
“For me it was fantastic, it was like the storming of the gates. There was a lot of doom and gloom, and a lot of major media followed that; it was an easy story. All the bigwigs were freaking out; they don’t know what to do, and they’re not sure how to move forward. And if you were from the financial industry, you were weeping in the corner. By day two, you began to see this movement happening around these emerging nations that deal with crisis all the time. So whether it was Turkey, Japan, or African nations like Nigeria, they began to make their mark, and say “Guys, I can tell you from experience this is not going to work.” And by day three, the floodgates had opened and anyone with any good idea was listened to. It was basically like the old guard was not sure what was going on, and there was a new guard of social entrepreneurs and young leaders who were just like “If you guys can’t control this, then hand over the keys.” It was really inspiring. I think I had 12 or 14 hours of sleep in a five-day period.”
