US magazine Wired has published leaked details about the exclusive group “Dialog.” The society, which is associated with tech investor Peter Thiel, brings together high-ranking political and business figures in a luxurious setting. The leaked information reveals a mix of geopolitical discussions and personal topics.

The group, which operates under the inconspicuous name “Dialog,” is characterized by a strict absence of public visibility and a luxurious atmosphere. In the past, meetings have taken place in Venetian palazzos and exclusive hotels. The network consists of a circle of decision-makers from politics and the technology industry.

Participants and Upcoming Dates

According to publications by Wired, the list of participants for the next meeting includes 222 names. Among them are high-profile figures such as US Senator Ted Cruz, Scott Bessent (Secretary of the Treasury in Donald Trump’s cabinet), Alexus Grynkewich (US Army’s Europe commander), and Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir. The group’s next meeting is scheduled to take place in August near Dublin, Ireland.

The leaked directory also includes many figures with an AI connection, among them Elon Musk, Greg Brockman (OpenAI), and Jonathan Ross (Groq). Also on the list are journalists and media personalities, including Ezra Klein of the New York Times and Nick Thompson of The Atlantic. In that respect, it is somewhat questionable just how strictly secret these meetings actually are.

Somewhere Between Davos and Burning Man

The dynamic of the meetings, as described in the media, is characterized as a mixture of the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Bilderberg Conference, and Burning Man. The program appears to cover a broad range of topics encompassing both highly political and very personal aspects.

The agenda includes discussions on “Navigating a Third World War” and “Building a Cult,” among other things. At the same time, it is clear that the private lives of participants are also addressed. During registration, guests can provide information about their personal preferences, such as whether they are looking for partners in the context of the meeting.

The exclusivity of the group is further underscored by high financial barriers. From earlier information, it is known that the registration fee in 2022 was approximately $16,000.

The Source of the Information

The revelations are based on information provided to Wired by an anonymous source. The research was supplemented by the work of Swiss hacker “maia arson crimew,” who succeeded in extracting excerpts from the website code of the “Dialog” organization. Here is the participant list known so far:
