[N]on-partisan retreats created to build bridges among innovative leaders from diverse fields.

Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize-winners, venture capitalists, social entrepeneurs & CEOs, leading innovators of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Wall Street & Main Street, astronauts & Olympians, Republicans, Democrats & Independents.
Is the invite legit? Could be. Only after registering and paying fees will you know whether you're among the
[V]ery limited number of others expressing interest [who] may be included, based on their potential contribution to the expertise, depth, breadth, and diversity of perspectives at each Weekend.
