The Conclave

Deploying Private Capital in the AI Era

A private gathering for family office principals examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping capital allocation, alpha creation, and generational stewardship.

A Welcome From Gavin

“Thank you for joining us in Jackson Hole.

Artificial intelligence will shape industries, institutions, and families for decades to come. Our purpose in gathering, though, extends beyond the technology itself.

Over three days, we hope to create space for unhurried conversation: about where capital is being put to work, how operators are building enduring businesses, and how families might steward what they have been given through a season of rapid change.

We look forward to welcoming you.”

The Experience

Beyond the Sessions

The Table

Chef Tarver King hosts two dinners in residence — Sunday evening at The Abode, and Monday’s closing dinner. Meals built for conversation, not ceremony.

The River

A guided fly fishing morning for those who would rather think with a rod in hand than across a table.

The Field

A guided skeet shooting experience in the Wyoming countryside, suitable for both seasoned and first-time shooters.

The Land

Time to wander, rest, and settle into The Abode and its surroundings. No agenda, no structure, just good company and open air.

The Fire

Sunday closes with a fireside whisky tasting and cigars — the conversations that tend to run longest.

    Beyond Returns

    This gathering rests on a simple belief: capital, well deployed, does more than compound. It builds.

    01

    Prosperity

    Building enduring value, not merely extracting it.

    02

    Stewardship

    Preserving what matters across generations.

    03

    Common Good

    Deploying capital toward human
    flourishing.

    Capital shapes more than balance sheets. It shapes communities, institutions, and the opportunities open to the generations that follow. We look forward to gathering in Jackson Hole, and to stewarding this moment well, together.
