24 май, 2005 се проведе годишната среща на групата на Билдербергерите. Събитие, което е напълно игнорирано от медиите по света, въпреки факта, че на него се събират най-могъщите финансови босове, индустриалисти и политически фигури.

Тази година обаче, Билдербергерите не можаха да запазят своята среща в Ротах-Егерн в тайна от хората. Група журналисти от независими медийни компании бяха на мястото на срещата със своите фотоапарати. Въпреки това добре предупредения и запалашен от уволнение персонал на хотела не издаде имената на гостите. Срещата се проведе както обикновено на затворени врати и охранявана от служители на полицията.
