This2ShallPass Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Apologies for creating another thread, couldn't have a poll as a reply in the other one. I would like to attend the AGM. I'll be coming by myself and have never met anyone before, so not sure what to expect. Anyone willing to share their experience with previous AGMs is appreciated.

I know it starts at 9:30am EST. There are a bunch of booths set up with Fairfax businesses and their management available to chat so it’s best to come early. It’s usually a few hours but I guess until we run out of questions. Historically, there has been lunch served afterwards and then the Fairfax India meeting at 2. This year the FIH AGM is on Wednesday so not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haryana Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Do you have to prove your ownership of stock for entry What if you own indirectly and opted out of proxy docs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madpawn Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Hey all, Maybe a silly question but what exactly do you do at these events? I’m interested to attend as a long time fan of Prem and Fairfax but I’m also a bit shy to attend on my own without knowing what to expect. would appreciate any insights, cheers!

TwoCitiesCapital Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Wanted to go, but certain items came up that made it difficult to do so. Perhaps next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwent63 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) I, too, was planning on attending but work has gotten in the way. I hope to be able to access the stream. Is the recording made available after the meeting? Edited April 3 by jbwent63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would appreciate the opportunity to meet in a smaller group before going to C'est What. if you have room for one more. I attended the Fairfax meeting in 2022 but this will be my first Ben Graham conference. Thanks, Ciaran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
