Sun Valley Sees Moguls & Governors Mingle, With Strategy, Succession & Politics In Play


Media and tech execs and politicians are gathering in Sun Valley, Idaho this week for Allen & Co's annual mountainside retreat where deals are hatched.

July in full swing sees top media executives and an impressive political cohort gathered at a storied mountain resort to hike, chat and whitewater raft. With the media and entertainment industry continuing to undergo unprecedented change, streaming bundles, sports rights, the overall state of film, TV and tech, as well as the current political climate are in the mix at the conference, which has been hosted annually since 1983 by boutique investment bank Allen & Co. Open AI co-founder Sam Altman is attending, with Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and CEO Andy Jassy. The executive crowd and wealthy political donors will be mingling with some of the nation’s most dynamic Democratic governors including Wisconsin’s Gretchen Whitmer and Maryland’s Wes Moore Pennsylvania Gov.
