Perhaps preempting the usual criticism of secrecy by the likes of Alex Jones and others who picket Bilderberg Group meeting places and try to identify the arrival of notable guests, the organization has released the invited guest list for its annual meeting, to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 29 May to 1 June 2014. Of course no doubt there will be those who claim that there will be attendees of the meetings who are not on this list, so they’ll still be outside looking into the limousines.

Even more helpfully, there’s a published agenda:



The key topics for discussion this year include:

Is the economic recovery sustainable?

Who will pay for the demographics?

Does privacy exist?

How special is the relationship in intelligence sharing?

Big shifts in technology and jobs

The future of democracy and the middle class trap

China’s political and economic outlook

The new architecture of the Middle East

Ukraine

What next for Europe?

Current events

Here are the confirmed attendees as of 26 May 2014:
