Epstein Files- Attendees Of Peter Thiel's Secret 'Tech-Era Bilderberg' Meeting in 2014 Leaked.
The Epstein Files Reveal The Attendees Of Palantir Co-Founder Peter Thiel's Secret "Dialog" Meeting.
Buried within the Epstein Files is the partial guest list of , the “Dialog” conference in 2014, a secretive meeting run by Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel and SafeGraph CEO Auren Hoffman- a self-described, “two-day bipartisan retreat discussing how to change the world.”
Axios, reporting on this secretive retreat reported in 2025, “Dialog, often compared to a tech-era Bilderberg, has quietly become one of the most elite, and mysterious, gatherings for CEOs, elected officials, and intellectual heavyweights.”
Axios noted that, “Dialog has no public-facing website and avoids media coverage — it has never publicly shared a list of participants” and added “Past Dialog participants, who cut across a wide swath of elite influencers, include Elon Musk, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Larry Summers, Chamath Palihapitiya, Henry Kravis, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D), Eric Schmidt, Grover Norquist, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Robert Hur and Sophia Bush. Also, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Jared Kushner, Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. Reema Al-Saud, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, European Commission Vice Chair Kaja Kallas, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, chess champ and activist Garry Kasparov, pastor and author Rick Warren and CFR president emeritus Richard Haass.”
But now, thanks to the DOJ released Epstein Files, a partial list of participants in the 2014 “Dialog” meeting has now been revealed , through multiple emails within the files where participants Ian Osborne and Lisa Randall shared their invitation to the conference and a partial list of attendees.
The invitation to the Dialog conference reads:
You’re invited to join us at the Dialog Retreat ... 150 people to change the world ... a participatory and entrepreneurial conversation on changing the world.
The Dialog participants aren’t modest. We want to change the world.
But we don’t want to spend our time being in a large audience listening to winded speeches. There are no speakers. No panels. All attendees participate in break-out facilitated discussions. And we *limit the discussion to only 150 global leaders who can have an impact now and emerging leaders who can help implement the plans we develop.
High-profile attendees of the 2014 retreat at Sundance Resort, designed to “help implement the plans we develop,” include:
-Jason Bordoff: the Senior Advisor for Energy and Environmental Policy to U.S. President Obama.
-Stephen Cohen: another Palantir co-founder
-Adam D’Angelo: the CEO of Quora and former Facebook CEO
-Lanny Davis: the former Special Counsel to the President (under Clinton)
-Jeff Epstein (not to be confused with Jeffrey Epstein)- the former CEO of Oracle.
-Niall Ferguson: the British neoconservative historian and now CBS News contributor.
-Richard Haass: the president of the Neo-Con Council on Foreign Relations.
-Reid Hoffman: the co-founder of LinkedIn.
-Garry Kasparov: the former World Chess Champion turned Neo-con activist.
-Joe Lonsdale: Another Palantir co-founder.
-General Stan McChrystal: a retired 4-star U.S. General.
-Wes Moore: the former Special Assistant to Secretary of State Susan Rice.
-Bret Stephens: the Neo-con Zionist mainstream media writer.
