The original Bilderberg conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg, near Arnhem in The Netherlands, from 29 May to 31 May 1954. It was initiated by several people, including Denis Healey and Józef Retinger, concerned about the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe, who proposed an international conference at which leaders from European countries and the United States would be brought together with the aim of promoting understanding between the cultures of the United States and Western Europe. Retinger approached Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who agreed to promote the idea, together with Belgian Prime Minister Paul Van Zeeland, and the head of Unilever at that time, the Dutchman Paul Rijkens. Bernhard in turn contacted Walter Bedell Smith, then head of the CIA, who asked Eisenhower adviser Charles Douglas Jackson to deal with the suggestion. The guest list was to be drawn up by inviting two attendees from each nation, one of each to represent conservative and liberal points of view. Fifty delegates from 11 countries in Western Europe attended the first conference along with 11 Americans.
The success of the meeting led the organizers to arrange an annual conference. A permanent Steering Committee was established, with Retinger appointed as permanent secretary. As well as organizing the conference, the steering committee also maintained a register of attendee names and contact details, with the aim of creating an informal network of individuals who could call upon one another in a private capacity. Conferences were held in France, Germany, and Denmark over the following three years. In 1957, the first US conference was held in St. Simons, Georgia, with $30,000 from the Ford Foundation. The foundation supplied further funding for the 1959 and 1963 conferences.
The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an unofficial, annual, invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are persons of great influence in the fields of politics, business, banking, and media.
The group meets annually at hotels or resorts throughout the world—for two consecutive years in Europe followed by a year in the United States or Canada. This tradition appeared to be broken in 2008 when the meeting was held in Chantilly, Virginia, so as to give easier access to those associated with the US elections. The 2009 Bilderberg meeting took place from 14-16 May in Athens, Greece.

Wow...you're a smart woman,and I WOULD ANSWER,BUT I feel intimidated.
there are a few politicians in the usa who should be brought to trial for violation of the logan act, i you are familiar with it, it states that no elected official of the united states may engage in private meetings with private business owners without prior written authorization of the united states congress or the president. what i think is that it's a group of criminals going around behind our backs artificially controlling wars, economies and world wide policies. they are also the authors of the georgia guide stones, that is something else for you to research. by the way, DrkRose i have to thank you for this posting, i thought i was the only person who knows about this subject.

They are world renowned, The Bildeberg Group and also much publicised. They work on the opposite side of the spectrum to The Bloomsbury Group.

Yes that's right.
Bilderberg doesn't really do much anything itself except "discuss".
But Bilderberg links together other Roundtable groups such as the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, Skull & Bones, banking Families such as the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, royalty, etc etc etc.
So politicians who want powerful friends and who don't want powerful enemies tend to do whatever Bilderberg suggests.
