There is an annual conference in Sun Valley (Idaho, in the United States) which is organized by Allen & Company so that big names in technology can interact, exchange ideas and even close deals. As has traditionally been happening, Apple is being well represented by its CEO, Tim Cook, which appears for the fifth time at the event. Along with him is also Eddy Cue, senior vice president of software and internet services for Ma.

Only those invited will appear at the event, and among the big names are still Mark Zuckerberg, Rupert Murdoch and Barry Diller who have not yet appeared there.
