Leaked records reveal attendees of Peter Thiel’s secretive Dialog society, including officials and tech executives

A leaked dataset exposed the membership and operations of Dialog, an invitation-only society cofounded by billionaire investor Peter Thiel in 2006. The leak, first reported by the Swiss hacktivist maia arson crimew, includes a website directory of 113 members and a registration list for Dialog’s 2026 retreat, which names 222 attendees. The retreat is scheduled for August 12–16 at the Powerscourt Hotel outside Dublin, Ireland.

Dialog’s retreat agenda includes off-the-record sessions such as “Money (Does?) Buy Happiness,” “Bring Back Nuclear,” “Navigating WWIII,” “Battlefield Technologies,” and “How’s Your Sex Life?” Additional sessions include “Build-a-Cult” and “Build-a-Party,” moderated by figures including the founder of Pray.com and a former White House national security official.

The leaked registration records list attendees including General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s supreme allied commander Europe and head of US European Command; two US senators; six members of the PayPal Mafia; a former Middle East chief of intelligence; and a sitting ambassador to the United States. The records also name executives from surveillance, data-broker, and advertising-data companies, alongside senior US officials overseeing their industries.

Dialog’s chairman, Auren Hoffman, founded location-data broker SafeGraph and identity-resolution firm LiveRamp. Hoffman appears in the directory alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Senator Ted Cruz, who chairs the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, whose software supports US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Pentagon, is listed alongside Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Representative Jim Himes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.

The leaked Airtable database includes sensitive personal data for registrants, such as political leanings and matchmaking preferences, which Dialog’s forms promise will not be shared. The database also logs each participant’s membership status, retreat attendance history, biography, home city, and a private access token.

The leak also names senior figures not listed in the public directory, including Randy Kroszner, a former Federal Reserve governor now on the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee; Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League; Peter Goettler, president of the Cato Institute; and Roger Myerson, a Nobel laureate economist at the University of Chicago. It also lists Google and Google DeepMind executives, including Tom Lue, who leads global affairs for Google’s frontier AI division.
