In one sentence: A three-minute notice from Danielle on how to watch the 2023 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting online, with a recap promised for the following Tuesday.
Key ideas
- Where and when. The meeting is on the first Saturday of May (May 6, 2023). It starts officially at 9:15 a.m. Central, and CNBC broadcasts it online. Searching for the CNBC Berkshire meeting also finds last year's video. [00:08–01:30]
- Neither host is going. Danielle and Phil are skipping the trip this year and hope to attend next year. [00:08]
- Recap plan. They will each note the high points of what is roughly six hours of Q&A and publish a recap on Tuesday. [01:00–02:00]
- Why it matters. Danielle values the chance to hear two of the greatest investors while they are still around ("at some point we will not"). [02:07]
