Your week at a glance
1Morning · Tue to Thu8:00 am – 12:00 pm
The day starts on the mountain.
Networking activities, not meetings. Ride the lifts and talk between runs, fish the upper Owens with a guide, or sled the backcountry. Not into any of that? Networking breakfasts run all three mornings.
2Afternoon · Tue to Thu1:30 – 5:00 pm
Two breakouts, two formats.
Two 90-minute blocks every afternoon. Small-group conversations in the condos: one host, a few couches, no slides. Or talks and panels in the ballroom. Pick one of each, or two of one. Three themes every day: People, Process, Product.
Block 1 · 1:30–3:00Block 2 · 3:30–5:00
3Evening · Tue to Thu5:30 – 9:30 pm
Dinner, then everyone together.
Themed dinners in the condos and the Village first. Then the whole Summit at one networking reception: Canyon Lodge on Tuesday and Wednesday, the finale at McCoy Station on Thursday. Gondola up, drinks, appetizers, RC cars on the course outside.

The best breakthroughs don't happen in a boardroom.
They happen on a chairlift, in a condo and over dinner. Now fully independent under G28: backed by a coalition of partners, owned by no single company. Neutral ground, on purpose.
The last revolution was the factory floor. This one is the office.
A hundred years ago the hard part of the job was physical. The last industrial revolution put machines on the floor, and the work moved up into the office: programming, quoting, planning. Blue collar to white collar.
Now Ai is doing the office work too. It won’t make the work go away; automation never has. It moves the problem forward, to the part no software does: finding the right people, earning their trust, and building things together.
That’s the next phase, and it’s still work. Real work, done in person. It’s what G28 is here for.
Treat adults like adults
Treat people like kids and they act like kids. Treat them like adults and they act like adults. So we don’t script the room.
No booths, no badge scans. A mountain, a few clear rules, and a few hundred people who came a long way to talk. The ski hill works the same way: clear boundaries, then go where you want.
Pick your six
Browse every session, say Yes or Maybe, and keep your six. You can change them any time before the week.
Land. We handle the rest.

Bishop
