Pearl Islands
October 16 · by sea
The day after the Summit, we trade conference rooms for open water. A large vessel, a small group of guests, and a long stretch of Pacific between Panama City and the Pearl Islands — no agenda, no panels, just the people you spent the day before with.
There's no programming. Bring a swimsuit, leave the laptop.
