A planned private conference linked to Peter Thiel has been cancelled at a five-star hotel in Wicklow, according to reports. The event is associated with Thiel’s Palantir cofounder background and was scheduled to take place at the Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa. Multiple outlets say the programme had been planned for attendance by high-profile figures, including a senior Nato commander and officials connected to the Trump administration.
The hotel now states the retreat will not go ahead at the venue. The reports describe the event as private and refer to it using language such as “secretive,” but they do not provide further details on the agenda beyond its announced attendance list.
Both accounts frame the cancellation as a venue-level decision, with no stated information in the available summaries about whether the event itself is postponed, relocated, or fully cancelled. The reports focus on the fact that the conference was due to be hosted at the Wicklow resort and that it will no longer be held there as scheduled.
