Sicilian blogger Tony Siino talked to an attendee about what went on, and told Business Insider via email that the conference, dubbed "The Camp," was three-days of intellectual discussions, relaxation, and sight-seeing.

According to Siino's source, morning discussions included a wide range of topics, including how to extend human life and the design of cities of the future. In the afternoons, he said, guests could choose from activities like sailing, jet-skiing, paddle-boarding, golf, and biking. Google also organized trips to a local winery and the Hera Temple in the ancient city Selinunte.

Siino also staked out the Palermo Airport, where he said that guests were arriving in private planes and then being taken by helicopter to the Verdura Golf and Spa Resort
