The Bilderberg Club is one of the world’s most powerful and influential organisations of which few will have heard. Founded in 1954, it is an annual conference bringing together up to 150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media.
Drawn from politics, government and “other fields,” around two-thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from the US.
