Reports claim that the event will feature attendees such as Meta's founder Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Chief Executive Tim Cook, Microsoft’s co-founder Bill Gates, and OpenAI’s founder Sam Altman.

Numerous leading tech figures have endeavored to cultivate a stronger rapport with Trump following his victory in the 2024 election, and their firms have revised their strategies by eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives to align with the administration’s stance. Zuckerberg, Pichai, and Altman were present at Trump’s inauguration, whereas Cook has visited the White House to announce investments in American manufacturing.
