"...It didn't take long for an annual get-together ... to show mindboggling growth — in this case a change in its name from the Millionaires' Dinner to the Billionaires' Dinner... the crowd was sprinkled generously with those who had amassed wealth beyond imagining in a historical eye blink. The muscle and money behind tech stars such as Microsoft, America Online, Sun Microsystems and others ." WIRED

Dear JE,

## CONFIDENTIAL (cont.)

- Please join Katinka Matson and myself for the sixteenth annual EDGE dinner. The "Dinner" actually began 29 years ago at a Mexican restaurant during the 1985 Comdex in Las Vegas as "The Millionaires' Dinner" (branded by the WSJ in a front page article). It became an annual event beginning in 1998 with our first dinner in Monterey, and then, in 2010, we moved it to Long Beach. It's been called "The Digerati Dinner", "The Billionaires' Dinner" (thanks to the WSJ again in 1999), "The EDGE Science Dinner", "The Last Digerati Dinner", and our favorite iteration, "The New Age of Wonder Dinner", characterized by Freeman Dyson as the new era dominated by computational biology. He said:

"A new generation of artists, writing genomes as fluently as Blake and Byron wrote verses, might create an abundance of new flowers and fruit and trees and birds to enrich the ecology of our planet. Most of these artists would be amateurs, but they would be in close touch with science, like the poets of the earlier Age of Wonder. The new Age of Wonder might bring together wealthy entrepreneurs ... and a worldwide community of gardeners and farmers and breeders, working together to make the planet beautiful as well as fertile, hospitable to hummingbirds as well as to humans."

"The leaders of the new Age of Wonder, Dyson noted, include biology wizards' Kary Mullis, Craig Venter, medical engineer Dean Kamen; and 'computer wizards' Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Charles Simonyi, and John Brockman and Katinka Matson, the cofounders of EDGE, the nexus of this intellectual activity."

- This year: Vancouver! Branding ("The xxxxx Dinner") to be inspired by the event and crowdsourced by our guests. While Katinka and I are not attending TED, we will be at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel beginning Sunday, March 16th for the week, and we do want to see you. Can you join us?

Time: 7:30 pm
Date: Monday, March 17th
Place: To Be Announced

rsvp: by Monday, March 10th to save your place at the table.

- Confidential, please. We will book a private room for a dinner limited to about 20 people. For this dinner, less is more, so please keep this invitation, which is for you only, under the radar, as well as our presence in Vancouver.

Katinka and I very much hope to see you!

Best,

JB
