So glad your video appeared on Google which I watched, subscribed and most of all liked. I can’t make it to the meeting this year but definitely will attend next year as I will be retired. Looking forward to watching your other videos for tips and suggestions so that I can plan a vacation around the upcoming meeting. Continue the excellent work!

That's awesome, I am so excited for you and your family!! My one advice to you is also keep tabs on your Airbnb host and try to be on the lookout if the host might cancel (but likely if they're a superhost or seem like they host often then hopefully they wouldn't). I hope your Berkshire experience next year is wonderful!! :D

It's too early, they likely would allow for people to submit credential requests starting in early/mid-March 2025 when the proxy materials come out again

@@MichelleMarki So there is no risk to booking hotel and airfare in advance? If I remain a shareholder, am I guaranteed 4 credentials for 2025?

@@davidspivack3537 Assuming no "act of God" like another pandemic cancels the annual meeting like it did in 2020 and 2021, then one would assume shareholders will be welcomed back on May 3, 2025 as the visitor guide shows scheduled. With booking airfare and hotel, I would personally try to have some travel protection like a generous cancellation policy or money back if I had to cancel or reschedule the flight/hotel. Many people do book popular hotels like the Hilton or Marriott across the street a year or more in advance. I hope this helps, good luck!

Thanks! I'm a shareholder based in the Netherlands and am contemplating coming for the meeting. I don't know anyone else who is going to be there and I'd be coming alone. Do you think it's worth the trip? What other advice would you have for me?

Hi there! While I've known someone else who came all the way from Thailand within a week of the upcoming meeting, that person had to fly into Chicago and road trip to Omaha and stay a bit further out of town with many hotels and flights booked up. So it can be done but it takes careful maneuvering, but I'd suggest planning several months in advance for the best options. It's an incredible experience but it can be a lot to take in at first if you are having to navigate everything on your own. Good luck! :)

Yes, at Will Call just show the evidence of your ownership of the share (ideally with your name/address on the evidence) and your photo ID. Some people might have shown their shares in their brokerage account app on their phones but it would be good to have a backup on a paper statement or if you can print evidence from your brokerage of your portfolio holdings. Good luck! :)

Hi there, I'm assuming they would give you up to 4 meeting credentials whether you do the mail form or the will call (it should be equitable). Now if you're asking if you can get a total of 8 credentials, I am not sure if they keep track of how many they have already given out to the same individual. Good luck!

Yes, immediately after the meeting on Saturday is a Nebraska Furniture Mart BBQ. There may also be a Willow Oak event on Saturday evening. Check if The Investors Podcast Network is hosting any meetups. There is the Markel Brunch on Sunday morning that is free to the public to sign up to. If you google Markel 2024 Omaha Brunch Sunday, May 5, 2024 Omaha Marriott Downtown Capitol District you should be able to find it and register on Markel's "MKL reunion" site. Also it's fun to go to the Borsheims shareholder-only event on Sunday (if you're into open bar and shopping). Good luck!
