The October 1955 Bilderberg Meeting was the third Bilderberg meeting and the second one that year. It had participants from 11 European countries, the United States and Canada. All were male.[1] It was held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany.[1] The 79 guests included 16 business executives, 24 politicians, 4 financiers, 2 editors/journalists and 6 academics. The second Bilderberg meeting that year (after the Bilderberg/1955 March conference) it was the subject of a report by Der Spiegel, which was the most informative such report in the commercially-controlled media for years, perhaps decades. The next meeting was the 1956 Bilderberg.
