Their website is actually pretty good: http://ift.tt/2bZlUSz

These kinds of groups have a mixed track record of success.
It is actually possible for small groups of monied people to get together in private to manipulate democracies. This is common as hell.
MADD -- Mothers Against Drunk Driving -- is as much of a conspiracy as the Bilderberg Group is. It's just a little more proletarian -- and probably more destructive.
Maybe Bilderberg members float world governance ideas sometimes, just as many prominent leaders and intellectuals have for the past 150 years. It doesn't change the fact that those ideas are wholly impractical.
If the Bilderberg attendees really rule the world, they suck at it. If they've been conspiring to institute a world government for the last several decades, they're a crew of incompetents. The dudes can barely keep Europe together, much less the world.
When you think about it, you'd have to imagine that such meetings are terrifically unproductive. You have managers and politicians who each have separate constituencies who are meeting at a central location with people who aren't really related to their areas of control. And then you try to coordinate all of them and stay on plan even when you're not in daily contact with them.
The more convoluted the purported conspiracy gets, the less likely it becomes that anyone can execute on it.
If you're going to try to rule the world, don't call a fucking committee meeting between glorified cookie salesmen and the prime minsters of pathetic European countries that have economies the size of backwards American states. Go the classic route and build an asteroid launcher on the moon -- there are many fewer coordination problems that way.
This is like a corporate meeting between managers of other managers, except exponentially less productive and less likely to result in successful coordination.
