Forbes magazine has decided not to go forward with a Bermuda retreat for some of its “30 under 30” entrepreneurs, reports Archie Bland of The Guardian.
Bland reports, “But within hours of the Guardian’s inquiry on Monday, a spokesperson for the magazine said it was ‘not proceeding with this initiative’. They claimed that the trip had been intended to ‘create a protocol that could allow us to come together and build community in a safe way that also serves as a model for the world’.
“The invitation had been posted on a Slack group used by some of those who have been featured on the annual list and shared with the Guardian by two people. Recipients were told that ‘in a time of global chaos’ Forbes had ‘decided to undertake something unprecedented, something amazing, something magical’.
“‘We’re going to do our first ever residency,’ the message, sent by Forbes editor and 30 under 30 creator Randall Lane, continued. ‘A programme for the entire month of March, where people can work all day, and then network, engage in live programming and have incredible fun on nights and weekends.'”
