DescriptionThe 2020 Bilderberg is reported not to have taken place. This page highlights the invlovement of numerous Bilderbergers in the COVID-19 event.

The 2020 Bilderberg Meeting was planned to be the 68th Bilderberg meeting and expected to have participants from around 20 European countries, the United States, Canada and possibly one or two other nations such as China. The Steering committee reportedly postponed it due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

Dates

Bilderberg 2020 was presumably scheduled, like all Bilderberg meetings for the last decade, to begin and end in June.[1] However, after the COVID-19 pandemic, their official website reported as of April 2020 that "in line with worldwide travel constraints and prevention efforts the Meeting 2020 has been postponed".[2]

Cancelled?

If the event were actually cancelled due to COVID-19, this would be only its second ever cancellation. The only precedent was the decision to cancel the Bilderberg in 1976 to minimise the risks of exposure after the Lockheed/Bribery scandals had drawn unwanted attention to Prince Bernhard.[3]

Tony Gosling was skeptical in August 2020 that it had in fact been cancelled, suggesting that the announcement of its cancellation may have been a ruse to distract from the increasing public profile of the group. He suggested that the steering committee may have met in June, with a focus on COVID-19.[4]

Agenda

No agenda for the 2020 Bilderberg Agenda was released. Conjectured topics include:

Guests

Most of the Steering Committee were expected to attend. Some perennial Bilderbergers in particular were easy to predict: Victor Halberstadt and Henry Kissinger (more Bilderberg visits than anyone else alive, 44 each), Vernon Jordan (34), Marie-Josée Kravis (29). Former chair, Étienne Davignon (33 visits) might also have been expected to attend.[6]

Bilderberg meetings tend to invite about 50% newcomers. The other half the guests might have been expected to be from the list of 3117 past Bilderbergers.[7]
