Around 2500 participants from politics, business, research and culture met up once again this year for the World Economic Forum in Davos. The English Church (Davos Free Protestant Church) was turned into a modern lounge and event location for the duration of the event. This spiritual meeting place was transformed into a location where it was possible to warm up, enjoy a coffee and conduct animated conversations. Panel discussions were transmitted live to the CNBC studio and many other interviews were conducted there. Winkler was commissioned by Holland & Young and Tradeshift to act as general contractor for the English Church. It carried out the necessary alterations and, with a combination of creativity and the most modern technical equipment available, ensured that all the broadcasting went without a hitch. Everything had to be handled extremely carefully, in view of the fact that the church is a listed building.
