The 2022 Bilderberg Conference was held between June 2–5 at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, D.C. (now the Salamander Washington DC Hotel). It was the first time the conference had convened in person since 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] A Bilderberg Group press release stated that there were approximately 120 participants from 21 countries.[2] The 2022 meeting was the 68th edition of the event.[2]

Hotel staff spoken to by journalists from The Australian claimed to either not know what was going on inside, or that they could not say.[6]
