@sammicohentalks: the guest list is wild but the no-shows are the real tea. elon skipped this year, right after becoming the first trillionaire off the spacex ipo. buffett’s chair is empty again too. also worth knowing: the airport can only park about 125 jets before the rest have to drop off passengers and fly somewhere else to sit. and not all of the deals born in this room have aged well. aol–time warner and yahoo–verizon both started here. the room isn’t magic… it’s just closed. what’s your industry’s version of sun valley?
