Summary
An Internet Archive snapshot from June 15 exposed a Dialog participant directory embedded in the group's website source code, revealing names tied to Peter Thiel's secretive retreat network.
The verified list spans Elon Musk, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, White House staff secretary Will Scharf, senators Ted Cruz and Cory Booker, governors Jared Polis and Wes Moore, and foreign figures including Kaja Kallas and Tarō Kōno.
Several Democrats and overseas officials said they were not members or would not attend, with Polis saying he did not recall any involvement and Booker describing any contact as a past speaking engagement.
Dialog, founded around 2005-06 by Thiel and Auren Hoffman, is described as an invitation-only forum for off-record discussions and is reportedly planning its 2026 retreat in Dublin on Aug. 12-16.
The leak also revives scrutiny of elite influence networks after House-released emails showed Hoffman invited Jeffrey Epstein to the 2014 conference, though it remains unclear whether he attended.
