Fully updated for 2018 with new sources. Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Shareholder Meetings are held in Omaha, Nebraska every May. Although most of my portfolio is in a diversified mix of index funds, I also own individual shares of Berkshire Hathaway and respect the rational and clear advice given out by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. I’ve been reading through transcripts from past meetings, but in 2018 Buffett gave CNBC a bunch of complete tapes from old meetings.

I’ve wanted to physically attend a meeting for several years now, but things haven’t worked out. (Time is running out, I know…) In the meantime, here is a big list of ways you can watch, read, or listen to past shareholder meetings. Please let me know if you have something to add.
