The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, Bilderberg meetings or Bilderberg Club is an annual private conference of 120 to 150 people of the European and North American political elite, experts from industry, finance, academia, and the media, established in 1954. Le groupe Bilderberg, aussi appelé conférence de Bilderberg ou club Bilderberg, est un rassemblement annuel et informel d'environ 130 membres, essentiellement américains et européens, et dont la plupart sont des personnalités de la diplomatie, des affaires, de la politique et des médias. Ce forum annuel a été inauguré en mai 1954 à Oosterbeek aux Pays-Bas, lors d'une réunion à l'hôtel Bilderberg (d'où son nom) et possède des bureaux à Leyde. Il est au centre de plusieurs controverses du fait de sa non médiatisation et du caractère confidentiel du bilan des conférences.
