Investment company Allen & Company’s Sun Valley Conference will again invite the world’s ultra-wealthy to spend a week-long getaway in the beautiful Idaho wilderness from July 9 to July 13.
The conference, sometimes called summer camp for billionaires, has been held since the 1980s and offers CEOs and business leaders a chance to network through outdoor activities and presentations on national security and geopolitics.
Sometimes these leaders work together to make billion-dollar deals, like Disney’s purchase of ABC or Jeff Bezos’ purchase of The Washington Post.
While many celebrities have already visited the Sun Valley Lodge, Variety reports that some high-profile powerhouses, including Warren Buffett and Elon Musk, will not be attending.
Here are the people who have already shown up.
Also in attendance was former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, who was once in a relationship with Sandberg.
Bobby Kotick left Activision Blizzard in December 2023 following the company’s acquisition by Microsoft in October 2023. The Wall Street Journal reported in March that Kotick was considering buying TikTok.
President Joe Biden signed a bill in April banning TikTok unless the social media platform’s parent company, ByteDance, sells the app.
