Bilderberg Group

The Bilderberg Group is an annual private conference that brings together influential leaders from politics, business, finance, academia, and media. Founded in 1954, its purpose is to foster discussion on global issues in a confidential setting, encouraging open dialogue without public scrutiny. While some see it as a forum for networking among elites, critics raise concerns about transparency and influence over world affairs. Participation is by invitation-only, and the meetings are closed to the public and press, which has led to various theories about its true motives and power.
