Wie immer ist auch im 60. Jahr des Bestehens der Gruppe die Tagesordnung ebenso geheim wie die Gäste aus Politik und Wirtschaft, die eingeladen wurden. Wie immer wird auch diesmal die Tagung von den öffentlichen Medien weitestegehend nicht wahrgenommen.

Jährlich werden wechselnde Führungspersonen aus Politik und Wirtschaft der „westlichen Welt“ eingeladen. Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel hat bereits mehrfach teilgenommen, diverse deutsche Politiker ebenfalls.

Obwohl neben einflussreichen Politikern, Vertretern von global agierenden Geldhäusern und Verbünden auch zu jeder Konferenz Repräsentanten großer Medien eingeladen sind, wird Wert darauf gelegt, dass alle Tagungsteilnehmer als Privatpersonen agieren. Man diskutiert die internationale politische, wirtschaftliche und finanzielle Lage im Hinblick auf eine „neue Weltordnung“. Angeblich findet dieser „Meinungsaustausch“ keinen direkten Niederschlag im Tagesgeschehen. Dennoch legt die immer ausgesprochen hochkarätige Zusammensetzung den Schluss nahe, dass Aktivitäten koordiniert werden. Es lohnt sich daher, sowohl die nationale, als auch die europäische und amerikanische Politik in den Wochen und Monaten nach der Jahreskonferenz genau zu beobachten; ebenso Beschlüsse der Fed, des IWF, der EZB und Aktivitäten großer Banken.

In Deutschland wird man außerdem die Karriere von Norbert Röttgen und Jörg Asmussen im Auge behalten.

Es fällt auf, dass unter den eingeladenen Medienvertretern nicht die sind, die die Snowden-Berichterstattung in Deutschland koordinieren. Man wird also auch die Berichterstattung der Springer-Medien nach der Konferenz beobachten.

Seit vier Jahren betreiben die Bilderberger eine offizielle Homepage. Von dort stammt obiger Kartenausschnitt, der verdeutlicht, wo man bisher getagt hat. Hier berichtet die Organisation über ihre Struktur, sowie in Teilen auch über vergangene Konferenzen. Die internationale Organisation, die ihre Aktivitäten vollständig selbst finanziert, wird von einem Lenkungskommittee geleitet, zu dem folgende ständigen Mitglieder gehören:
