The search giant invited executives from major networks, media companies, NASA, the top librarian from the U.S. Library of Congress and former Vice President Al Gore to a think thank summit at its Mountain View headquarters this week.

The event was the second annual Google Partner Forum, according to TVWeek, and other attendees included CBS CEO Les Moonves, YouTube’s Chad Hurley and Dell’s Michael Dell.

“It’s less of a deal conference and it’s a lot more of a collection of thoughts and ideas and absolutely the top leaders in digital content and distribution and technology,” an executive who attended the event said. “It’s sort of everyone I need to talk to is within 200 feet.”
