Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting 2027

May 1, 2027 • Omaha, NE

About this conference

Known as "Woodstock for Capitalists", Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting draws roughly 30,000-40,000 shareholders to Omaha for a multi-hour Q&A with company leadership plus a large shareholder shopping exhibition of Berkshire-owned brands. Attendance requires proof of Berkshire share ownership and a credential — a single share qualifies, and credentials are requested in advance rather than bought at the door, so this is not an event to decide on at the last minute. The Q&A is the draw, and arena seating means queueing outside the CHI Health Center well before doors open. Omaha hotel rates rise sharply for the weekend and rooms go early. The meeting has been broadcast in recent years, so the reason to travel is the exhibition, the surrounding events and the crowd itself.
