A report released by WIRED has revealed that Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech investor, cofounded a secretive invitation-only society for powerful figures in politics, finance and tech whose internal records were left exposed online.

Getting into it: The group, called Dialog, was revealed after a Swiss hacktivist found a member directory sitting in the code of its website, and a separate source provided the registration list for its August retreat near Dublin, naming 222 people.

Thiel, who founded it in 2006 with data entrepreneur Auren Hoffman, has been inviting US officials, foreign figures and Silicon Valley executives to off-the-record annual gatherings. The group has hidden its membership for two decades, drawing comparisons to a tech-world version of the Bilderberg meetings.

The leaked program lists off-the-record sessions with titles such as “Navigating WWIII,” “Battlefield Technologies,” “How’s Your Sex Life?” and “Build-a-Cult.” A guide for moderators coaches participants to keep remarks off the record and brief enough to “avoid status signaling” in a room of lawmakers and tycoons.

Notably, none of the US lawmakers used their government email addresses, keeping their attendance off systems subject to public-records laws, and no one named responded to WIRED.

Those on the list include:
Peter Thiel, Palantir chairman
Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary
Ted Cruz, US senator (R-TX)
Cory Booker, US senator (D-NJ)
Jim Himes, US representative (D-CT)
Dan Driscoll, Army Secretary
Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe and head of US European Command
Joe Lonsdale, Palantir cofounder
Elon Musk
Sarah Bond, former president of Xbox at Microsoft
Scott Cook, cofounder of Intuit
Lisa Gevelber, Google
Bryan Johnson, tech entrepreneur and longevity figure
Peter Goettler, president of the Cato Institute
Hallie Hoffman, former DEA general counsel and acting chief of staff
Shmuel Abramzon, chief economist at Israel’s Ministry of Finance
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, actor
Josh Brolin, actor
Sam Harris, podcast host and author
