Dialog is a secretive, invite-only network founded by Peter Thiel and Auren Hoffman.[1]
Overview
According to a 2025 article in Axos - one of the few mentions of the group ever - 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."[1]
A source talking to Axios said that "Given declining trust in institutions and anti-establishment fervor, the group actively keeps its inner workings secretive and hidden from public scrutiny," adding that the group's "secretive nature allows participants to share controversial and concerning ideas that they would not be comfortable sharing elsewhere."[1]
The group is also in talks to acquire at least one smaller, like-minded membership organization "to scale its reach into additional elite circles," the source said.[1]
Participants
A given session could have the likes of Reid Hoffman, Ted Cruz, Jared Polis, Lori Gottlieb, and Eric Schmidt discussing AI's energy demands, the future of health care, and political realignments.[1]
Dialog has no public-facing website and avoids media coverage — it has never publicly shared a list of participants. The off-the-record events are typically limited to 100 guests.[1]
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, Sophia Bush, 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, Russian chess champ and regime change activist [Garry Kasparov]], pastor and author Rick Warren and Council on Foreign Relations president emeritus Richard Haass.[1]
Location
The off-the-record events, typically limited to 100 guests, have been held at the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain in Arizona and the San Clemente Palace Venice, among other exclusive and secluded sites.[1]
In 2025 it was reported to be purchasing land in Virginia, just outside Washington, to become a permanent base for its off-the-record meetings.
