The 2024 Bilderberg Conference was held between May 30–June 2, 2024 in Madrid, Spain at the Eurostars Suites Mirasierra hotel.[2][3] The 2024 meeting was the 70th edition of the event.[2] A Bilderberg Group press release stated that there were 131 participants from around 25 countries.[4]

Established in 1954 by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, Bilderberg conferences (or meetings) 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 prominent politicians, CEOs, national security experts, academics and journalists.[5][6][7] Several US presidents have attended the meetings before winning a presidential election. These politicians include Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Bilderberg conferences operate under the Chatham House Rule, meaning that participants are sworn to secrecy and cannot disclose the identity or affiliation of any particular speaker.[5]
