This year’s Allen & Company Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, is expected to begin July 7, according to a meeting minute from the local Friedman Memorial Airport, which handles the stream of private jets that descend on the resort town each summer. As always, Variety has obtained the guest list. This year’s roster pairs familiar power players in tech and media with a handful of notable newcomers.
Among the expected attendees are Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai and Sam Altman. The media contingent includes David Ellison, Bob Iger, David Zaslav, Netflix’s Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters, and the Murdochs.
A few names stand out as newer to the Sun Valley conversation, including Disney’s new CEO Josh D’Amaro, Apple’s incoming chief John Ternus and CBS News’ controversial Bari Weiss. Noticeably absent this year are Elon Musk, who just became the world’s first trillionaire following SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO; Nvidia’s high-flying CEO Jensen Huang; David Ellison’s father, Larry Ellison; and Berkshire Hathaway’s new CEO, Greg Abel.
