The 2019 Bilderberg (the 67^th) had participants from 23 countries, of whom 67 had already attended at least one Bilderberg before, and 16 were members of the CFR. It took place at the Montreux Palace hotel in Montreux, the 5^th time the group had met in Switzerland. In contrast to the unprecedented leak of details of the 2018 Bilderberg, the venue remained publicly unknown until late May 2019, an event "unprecedented in modern times". The guests included business executives, politicians, financiers, editors/journalists and academics. The next meeting was the 2022 Bilderberg, as the 2020 and 2021 meetings were reportedly cancelled due to COVID-19.

Agenda

The BilderbergMeetings posted a press release on 27 May 2019 a few hours after news of the venue and dates had broken elsewhere. This included the following agenda:

1. A Stable Strategic Order
2. What Next for Europe?
3. Climate Change and Sustainability (similar to the 1989 Bilderberg)
4. China
5. Russia
6. The Future of Capitalism
7. Brexit
8. The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
9. The Weaponisation of Social Media
10. The Importance of Space
11. Cyber Threats

Security

Dan Dicks, a regular Bilderberg watcher, reports that the Swiss Police were unusually friendly, but security and secrecy were higher than ever in 2019. He reports that — following the 2018 Bilderberg's unprecedented leak of venue — the guests were "very very tight lipped".
