July 7 marks the expected start of Allen & Co.'s Sun Valley conference in Idaho, with Variety reporting a guest list packed with top tech and media executives.

Newer names on the roster include Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro, Apple incoming chief John Ternus and CBS News figure Bari Weiss, signaling fresh faces in a traditionally repeat-attendee gathering.
