The Bilderberg Group is an unofficial and exclusive assembly of about 130 guests, who are experts in the area of business, politics and banking. The invited guests discuss matters on various worldwide concerns such as military, economic, and political issues.
The Club yearly meets at different luxury resorts or hotels in the world, mostly in Europe and once every four years in Canada or in the United States.
The assembly was held under very tight security. The purpose of the meeting is to foster cooperation and come up with workable solutions for economic and social problems that governments must face.
