Ray Dalio took part in the Economist World Ocean Initiative's summit in March 2019.
Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.
What would count as true or false
Judge as of 2019-03-07. Taking part means attending, speaking at, or appearing at the Economist World Ocean Initiative's World Ocean Summit held in early March 2019, whether in person or by video. TRUE: the summit agenda, speaker list, Economist coverage, video, or other independent reporting shows Dalio took part. MOSTLY TRUE: he took part in a closely associated Economist World Ocean Initiative event at the same time, but the details differ slightly, such as a side session or a recorded contribution. MOSTLY FALSE: his only involvement was something weaker, such as sponsorship or funding through OceanX or Dalio Philanthropies without taking part himself. FALSE: dated evidence shows he did not attend or appear, for example he was documented elsewhere and did not take part remotely, or the event did not take place in that period. Dalio's own tweet is not enough on its own to establish TRUE.

Reasoning
The evidence shows that the World Ocean Summit took place in Abu Dhabi on 5–7 March 2019 [E1, E3, E4, E5], and that a pre-event announcement named Ray Dalio [E2]. None of the evidence records that he actually attended, spoke or appeared, so it does not settle whether he took part.
