The 2022 Bilderberg Conference was held between June 2–5 at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, D.C. (now the Salamander Washington DC Hotel). It was the first time the conference had convened in person since 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] A Bilderberg Group press release stated that there were approximately 120 participants from 21 countries.[2] The 2022 meeting was the 68th edition of the event.[2]

Established in 1954 by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, Bilderberg conferences are an annual private gathering of the European and North American political and business elite. Events are attended by between 120 and 150 people each year invited by the Bilderberg Group's steering committee; including high-level politicians, CEOs, national security experts, academics and journalists.[3][4]

During the conference, the Mandarin Oriental was entirely booked out and cordoned off with barricades.[5][6] Police cars and limousines were reported to be surrounding the entrance. Hotel staff spoken to by journalists from The Australian claimed to either not know what was going on inside, or that they could not say.[6]

Agenda

The key topics for discussion at the 2022 Bilderberg conference were announced on the Bilderberg website shortly before the meeting.[2] Topics for discussion included:

Participants

A list of 119 participants was published on the Bilderberg website.[4] This list may not be complete, as a source connected to the Bilderberg group told The Daily Telegraph in 2013 that some attendees do not have their names publicized.[7]
