The retreat is hosted by the investment firm Allen & Company each year and it attracts around 300 high-power executives from a wide variety of industries. Activities include lectures, panels, and roundtables where industry leaders can discuss topics of the day. The scene is best known for groundbreaking new deals, which are often struck behind closed doors.

During a brief encounter with a reporter, Cook was asked about the Apple Watch. Apple’s CEO referred to recent reports of stagnating sales. Cook declined to give any other comments, instead giving a thumbs-up as he passed by.
