Bilderberg Group

A hundred of the most powerful people alive meet yearly. No minutes. No press.

Chatham House Rule, no minutes, no resolutions, no press conference — for a meeting of finance ministers, central bankers, tech founders, and royalty, the discretion is the message. Attendees insist nothing is decided. Watchers keep a simpler ledger: the number of attendees who were unknowns at their first meeting and heads of state within two years. Coincidence keeps excellent attendance.
