What is the Bilderberg Group?
The Bilderberg Group meets annually amid conditions of great secrecy and consists, by invitation, of members of the world's political and business elite. It is one of a number of important and exclusive talking shops for global elites; and whilst there is a dearth of serious academic material published on the group it has become a source of great interest to conspiracy theorists.
