222 people registered for a private retreat with sessions called "Navigating WWIII" and "Battlefield Technologies."

Society

WIRED verified the leaked membership of Dialog, a private society co-founded by Peter Thiel that ran for 20 years with no public website. The 2026 retreat registration includes OpenAI's Chief Strategy Officer, Google DeepMind's head of global affairs, the CEO of YouTube, and the co-founder of Palantir — alongside sitting cabinet secretaries and a NATO commander. Every government official registered with personal email to avoid FOIA. I built a sourced archive at build-a-cult.com documenting who's in the room. Every claim links to a named source.
