From Sam Altman and Tim Cook to Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Bob Iger, here's who attended the exclusive Sun Valley Conference 2026, often called the "summer camp for billionaires."
Hosted by investment bank Allen & Company, the invitation-only gathering is known less for keynote speeches than for the private conversations that can shape billion-dollar deals, partnerships and the future of industries. This year, with artificial intelligence dominating global conversations, many of the biggest names in AI joined longtime attendees from technology, entertainment and finance.
