• bloomberg.com by Mark Bergen

President-elect Donald Trump's sit down with technology titans next week will have two marquee attendees: Alphabet Inc.'s Larry Page and Eric Schmidt.

Page, chief executive officer of the Google parent company, and Schmidt, the chairman, plan to be at the meeting, a person familiar with the decision said late Friday. The person asked not to be identified because the decisions were not public. An Alphabet spokeswoman did not return a request for comment.

An invitation went out earlier this week from members of Trump's transition team, including venture capitalist Peter Thiel. Oracle Corp. co-CEO Safra Catz, and Cisco Systems Inc. CEO Chuck Robbins have said they plan to attend.
