The 2018 Bilderberg was the 66^th Bilderberg meeting and occurred from 7-10 June, 2018 in Turin, Italy. Its timing and location were known for months in advance due to an unprecedented leak from the Serbian government. It was the fifth Bilderberg meeting in Italy (the others being in 2004, 1987, 1965, 1957). The guests included business executives, politicians, financiers, editors/journalists and academics. The next meeting was the 2019 Bilderberg.

The January 2018 Serbian Government press release that disclosed the venue and timing of the conference

Original rumours suggested that the meeting would take place in Venice, but an online Serbian Government press release of January 28 announced that the Serbian Prime Minister, Ana Brnabić had been invited to the meeting in Turin. It stated that Ms. Brnabic had been a member of the New Leaders for Europe, which “is made up of young politicians and decision makers from several European countries,” since 2016. The press release did not mention the hotel's name, but inquiries suggested the Hotel Torino Lingotto Congress (a 4 star hotel) had a congruent lack of availability for the specified dates.

Exposure

On 31 January, 2018, Mark Anderson of the American Free Press published a story in English about the Serbian government's press release. The conference was not widely reported by commercially-controlled media, but was mentioned in The Sun.
