The Bilderbergs, or Bilderberg Group, is an annual conference of influential figures from various sectors, including politics, finance, academia, and media, founded in 1954. The meetings are held privately, fostering discussions on global issues without public scrutiny, which has led to speculation and conspiracy theories about their influence and intentions. Notable attendees have included prominent leaders and decision-makers from around the world. The group's lack of transparency often fuels debates about its role in shaping international policies.
