Editing Bilderberg Group — Organizational Structure and Governance (section)

=== The Steering Committee ===
The Bilderberg Group is governed by a '''Steering Committee''' of approximately 30 members drawn from Europe and North America. The committee performs four primary functions:
* Selects the 8–15 agenda topics for each annual conference
* Curates the ~130 annual participants
* Chooses the meeting location (the host country provides security)
* Manages the organization's affairs throughout the year

The full composition of the Steering Committee is not publicly disclosed. Known members are identified through conference appearances, public acknowledgments, and historical records. Committee members serve in their personal capacity — not as representatives of their governments, companies, or institutions.
