Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Saturday, 25 April 2020 is Bilderberg meeting.
The Bilderberg meeting is an annual conference established in 1954 to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. The group’s agenda, originally to prevent another world war, is now defined as bolstering a consensus around free market Western capitalism and its interests around the globe. Participants include political leaders, experts from industry, finance, academia, and the media, numbering between 120 and 150. Attendees are entitled to use information gained at meetings, but not attribute it to a named speaker. This is to encourage candid debate, while maintaining privacy - a provision that has fed conspiracy theories from both left and right.
Meetings were chaired by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands until 1976. The current Chairman is Henri de Castries.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:07 UTC on Saturday, 25 April 2020.
