"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
“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)
"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
“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."
Guy SpierAquamarine Fund
"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
"...an outstanding conference. We are already looking forward
to attending next year; the dates are marked on our calendars."
Mark Moffat,
San Diego, California
"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
"Fantastic composition of speakers that ranged across the spectrum. Loved the high 'touch' of Buffett presenters."
