50 years after their first meeting the Bilderberg conference members will meet early June in Stresa, Italy.
An elusive club of multi-billionaires, monopolists, bankers, industrialists, royalty and heads of state, the Bilderberg group, chaired by Vicount Davignon, meets once a year to discuss a global agenda of "current affairs" (including oil, Iraq, US upcoming elections, Al Qaida,...). There are no press conferences, and all members are sworn to secrecy.
The press exagerates the "secrecy" and "conspiracy" aspects of these meetings, however it is noteworthy that it's probably the most influential club in the world, ... and membership is of course by invitation only
