Die Liste der Teilnehmer der Bilderberg-Konferenz ist immer auch ein interessanter Index der politischen Hoffnungsträger. Ein Blick auf die Liste der Teilnehmer von 2017 zeigt, dass es einige Aufsteiger und einige Absteiger gibt. Aus Deutschland waren 2017 sieben Teilnehmer auf der offiziellen Liste, in diesem Jahr sind es nur noch vier. Nicht mehr geschafft haben es Verdi-Chef Frank Bsirske, CDU-Hoffnungsträger Jens Spahn, Carsten Kengeter (Deutsche Börse), Oliver Bäte (Allianz) und Werner Baumann (Bayer). Neu auf der Liste aus Deutschland ist Bundesverteidigungsministerin Ursula von der Leyen. Das Programm gibt Aufschlüsse über die politische Agenda der kommenden Jahre.
