Sun Valley: Day 1 Recap

The moguls officially arrived for #SV12 today in Sun Valley. Everyone from Warren Buffett to Bob Iger to Square's Jack Dorsey checked-in for the annual Allen & Co "summer camp" for moguls in the mountains. While reporters can't go inside the events, we are able to tweet -- and tweet we did.

As always the morning started out with perfect mountain views.

By the way, this is the 30th anniversary of the Allen & Co. conference. Michael Ovitz told reporters he's attended every single one.

Michael Ovitz is 30 for 30 in Sun Valley appearances. Says the biggest difference today is the mix of media & tech #sunvalley2012

Asked Les Moonves if he's striking an Outdoor deal here. ::laughs:: Though he said in 10yrs attending, Sun Valley's led to some #CBS deals.

Michael White, CEO of @DirecTV, has arrived at Sun Valley but avoided cameras. No sign of Viacom yet. Clock is ticking. #SV12

Uber wasn't the only startup to check-in. We also spotted Nextdoor CEO Nirav Tolia, Evernote CEO Phil Libin, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, and Square CEO Jack Dorsey (who spoke to reporters).

In need of a diversion from the 8+ hours of arrivals, the reporters on-site opted for a bit of fun. Who's the best dressed mogul?
