Where Warren Buffett CEOs and world class presenters meet independent, intelligent and value minded investors just before the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting

Tom Russo

"It is a sacred trust and honor to have a platform for communicating principles which I have been fortunate enough to have received over my career from those whose leads I follow. To do such in a non promotional and thoughtful setting is double the pleasure."

Tom Russo
Principal and Portfolio Manager, Gardner Russo Gardner

Michael O'Mara 

“The Value Investor Conference was like a great movie; the next day you can’t get it out of your mind and your appreciation for it continually grows."

Michael O'Mara
Buffalo, NY

Note: The value investing conference is scheduled so that attendees can attend all the official events related to the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
(which is usually on the first Saturday of May in Omaha, NE)

Brian Massey

"I have to tell you I’ve been to many similar investor conferences over the years but I’ve never gotten so much valuable information as I did at the Value Investor Conference. The Berkshire week is valuable not necessarily for the new information you learn but rather for its affirmation of your beliefs and reminder of your responsibilities as a steward of our clients’ capital. This conference certainly enhanced the experience."

Brian Massey, CFA
MarVista Investment Partners, Los Angeles

Guy Spier

“Having attended your conference, I wish two things: that I had participated the last 5 years and that I had not scheduled meetings on the third day. Next year, I am planning to be there for the whole thing."

Molly Pacer

"This conference provides many lessons that can't always be taught in a classroom.  Experience creates wisdom, and it was an honor to hear each presenter share their experiences."
Molly Pacer
Creighton University
MBA Student

Mark Moffat

"...an outstanding conference. We are already looking forward to attending next year; the dates are marked on our calendars."

Mark Moffat,
San Diego, California

Alec Hogg

"The conference was superb and really looking forward to making it an annual event. Well done on placing it just before the Berkshire annual meeting in Omaha. Will make a note of next year's dates."

Alec Hogg
MoneyWeb, South Africa

Akshay Mansukhani

"Fantastic composition of speakers that ranged across the spectrum. Loved the high 'touch' of Buffett presenters."
