New data shows that women delegates are playing an increasingly prominent role in the public discussion from the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. While only 17 percent of WEF delegates in Davos are women, they have accounted for more than a third of Davos delegate social media activity.

Discussions surrounding the European Union (#EU) and Europe (#Europe) dominated the online conversations on day one of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. These emerging themes were strongly influenced by David Cameron’s speech, which addressed the potential of a referendum on Britain’s membership in the European Union. The Twitterverse responded boldly, demonstrating strong views on both sides of the discussion.
