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 think the events on here are worth checking out.

Everyone is very friendly at all of the events. I’m sure you will feel very welcome. If you want to grab a coffee before the C’est What event on the 9th, let me know.

I am thinking of attending the AM. It would be my first time. How long does the meeting last? 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

Do you have to prove your ownership of stock for entry

 

What if you own indirectly and opted out of proxy docs

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!

I was there in 2018. You just walk in and I think they took my name down. 
 

didn’t have to prove or show anything.

Appreciate the info.

Had almost bought Lynx air tickets to Toronto for AGM just hours before they announced shutdown.

For those interested, I call them today and confirmed with them there will be a virtual connection to the AGM. 

 

The link on the “news” section will be updated shortly.

Due to some work commitments, I'm not able to make it this year. I was really looking forward to seeing members from this forum, but will plan ahead for next year. Enjoy the AGM and pls post notes.

[TwoCitiesCapital]

Wanted to go, but certain items came up that made it difficult to do so. 

 

Perhaps next year.

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?

Hello,

Long time reader of the Forum, First time poster. I will be attending the Ben Graham conference on Wednesday.  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
