Related: About this forumThe annual Allen & Co is coming to Sun Valley in July
We have been discussing having a multi day protest, cause inconvenience, slow traffic, disrupt their activities in the area of the Sun Valley and the private air service, Atlantic. We are aware that we need to avoid the airport and private property. A big name to hold a town hall during the same time has been a suggestion.
Over the years we have had the reputation of being low key, quiet, no hassles for the attendees. Maybe it is time for that to change. While all attendees are not destructive to our democracy, all are willing to rub shoulders with the vultures.
“The Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference is an annual media finance conference hosted and funded by private investment firm Allen & Company.The conference has taken place in Sun Valley, Idaho for one week each July since 1983. The gathering typically includes major political figures, business leaders, and figures in the philanthropic and cultural spheres.The Sun Valley Conference is considered to be of particular importance in initiating and concluding corporate deals and in networking within elites in the media and business sectors.” (Wikipedia)
We are looking for opinions, ideas, contacts regarding this.

I hope your conference brings a lot of ideas and I wish I could contribute in some way. Best wishes 📎

(420 posts)Not many buildings large enough to do that. But we could come up with ideas based on that.
