Sun Valley Diary: Arrival of the Bigwigs

The action begins today in Sun Valley, Idaho, where the investment bank Allen & Company is holding its annual mogul schmoozathon and (hopefully) dealfest. The A-List began arriving Tuesday night for a pre-conference barbecue, including Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett (who is giving a speech on Saturday), Ebay chief executive Meg Whitman (who, in contrast to the parade of luxury vehicles before her, pulled up in the passenger seat of a rented Ford Taurus, driven by her husband), Disney chief Bob Iger and his predecessor, Michael Eisner.
