A.I. Leaders at Sun Valley 2026—Alongside Old Friends and New Alliances

From Sam Altman to Tim Cook, see who’s attending Sun Valley 2026 and what their interactions reveal about shifting tech alliances.

This year’s Allen & Co. conference is well underway in Sun Valley, Idaho. Like last year’s and the year before, A.I. looms large at the annual gathering once best known for its roster of media moguls. In recent years, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, and Apple’s Tim Cook are among the tech titans who have become returning guests. This year is no different. Outside the quaint Sun Valley Lodge, founders and CEOs drift in and out of view, rubbing shoulders with one another and with power players from across industries.
