The Berkshire 2022 AGM day
The morning of the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting 2022
There are many legends about the morning of the Berkshire Hathaway Annual General Meeting. In 2019, we recorded how we slept relatively well and still got into the hall quickly:
But if you want to get to the hall early and get the best places, we recommend the guide of Remo.
How could you ask a question?
There were two options to ask a question during the AGM. In advance, you could send a question to one of these three journalists:
- Carol Loomis (Fortune):
- Becky Quick (CNBC):
- Andrew Ross Sorkin (New York Times):
Or you could enter the question lottery on the morning of the Annual General Meeting and hope to be drawn.
Events around the Berkshire AGM 2022
The events around the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting 2022
It is well worth bringing a little more time for Omaha to get to know the city without the visitors of the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. We are usually on-site for a week and arrive on Tuesday and depart on Monday/Tuesday.
From about Thursday, various events around the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting 2022 started. For example, the Value Investor Conference took place, Willow Oak Asset Management hosted an event for young asset managers or Gabelli invited them to a conference. On the Sunday after the Annual General Meeting, there was also a Markel meeting, and you could take part in the Berkshire Hathaway 5 km race. In addition to these events, there were a number of events and discounts for shareholders at Borsheims or the Nebraska Furniture Mart.

Flights, budget and how long to stay are in our travel guide.
Arrival and overnight stay in 2022
It is worth planning your journey and your overnight stay well in advance because the city of Omaha is packed at the weekend around the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting 2022. You can find good accommodation at a fair price on Airbnb, but be sure to get a good rating (over 4.5 stars) and read guests’ comments. We had problems here and had to rebook, which was very expensive. There are also numerous hotels and motels in Omaha, some of which have only recently opened. In the neighboring city of Council Bluffs, Iowa, you can probably also find cheap hotels.
If you bring some time and don’t have to return on Sunday, you’ll also find affordable flights to and from Omaha. We compensate the CO² emissions of our flights with a donation, for example to Atmosfair. Alternatively, you can travel by car, train, or bus from Denver or Chicago. On the spot, we got along well without a car, because you have a good offer by ride-sharing platforms, like Uber and Lyft. Even on the morning of the Annual Meeting in 2019, we got a car relatively fast.
Of course, you can also book a car that costs about $30 a day. To make parking easy, you can use the ParkOmaha (iOs | Android) app. Near the city center, there is also free parking at the bridge at the Durham Museum.
