The Bilderberg Group is an annual conference that brings together influential figures from various sectors, including politics, business, and academia. Founded in 1954, the group aims to foster dialogue and understanding among leaders from North America and Europe. The meetings are held in private, which has led to speculation and conspiracy theories about their discussions and decisions. Participants in the Bilderberg Group include prominent politicians, CEOs, and experts, but the group does not have a formal agenda or public statements. The discussions focus on global issues such as economics, security, and international relations, allowing attendees to share perspectives and insights in a confidential setting.
