Conditions of conduct and topics for discussion

The events are taking place in the luxurious Grand Hotel in Stockholm. The area around the hotel is fenced off and guarded by police due to planned protests against the meeting.

According to the published information, the main topics of discussion will include Euro-Atlantic relations, the future of Ukraine, the US economy, Europe, the Middle East, innovations in the field of defense, artificial intelligence, and migration issues.

Specifics of the organization's work

The group's activities are closed - without broadcasts of debates or press conferences. This is the reason for the emergence of numerous conspiracy theories surrounding the organization.

The Bilderberg Group is an international association of individuals from the world of politics and economics that organizes annual meetings with the participation of 120 to 150 invited individuals from the highest-ranking politicians, members of the boards of major international institutions, significant funds, banks, and corporations of global scale and influence.

The convened Bilderberg conference in Stockholm gathered distinguished representatives from politics, business, and technology to discuss important topics of Euro-Atlantic relations, the future of Ukraine, the US economy, Europe, the Middle East, and other aspects. The organization's activities draw interest and support, but also lead to the emergence of various conspiracy theories.
