Seattle's Boeing Field was chock-a-block with corporate jets thought to be linked to Microsoft's CEO Summit. More than 100 business and other leaders are attending.
Known to be attending are Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan (2010 James C. Morgan Global Humanitarian Award winner for her campaign for broader access to schools and higher quality education for children, especially girls); Tim Geithner, US Secretary of the Treasury; Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway Corporation; Charlie Munger, vice-chairman, Berkshire Hathaway Corporation; Jeff Bezos, chairman, president, and CEO, Amazon.com; Rob Walton, chairman, Walmart; Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO, JP Morgan Chase; and Barry Diller, chairman and CEO, IAC.
KIRO News reported that among private jets parked at Boeing Field (aka King County International Airport) were planes registered to GE, eBay, Paramount, Russian Standard Bank, and U2. There was also a private 747 registered to the Kingdom holding company of Saudi Arabia.
The CEO Summit was instituted in 1997 by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates to provide a forum for business leaders to gather and exchange experiences around leading global corporations, and to learn about new technologies that will have an impact on business in the future.
