Berkshire Hathaway weekend: Schedule of events

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - As it’s been for years (with a pause during the pandemic), there are several events planned for the big Berkshire Hathaway weekend.

It’s all part of the traditions surrounding the main attraction: Hearing from Warren Buffett himself.

SHOPPING

In addition to the exhibits throughout CHI Health Center arena, offering discounts for shoppers on everything from cowboy boots to chocolate to steak knives, shareholders are also invited to special events around the city.

On Friday night, they can snag swanky jewelry; on Saturday evening, they’re invited to a picnic where they can take advantage of their special discount with Nebraska’s most known furniture retailer.

And if you can’t get there — or want to avoid the crowds — some retailers will offer their discounts for a few days after the weekend’s events have come to a close.

THE BIG MEETING

He and Charlie Munger will conduct a question-and-answer session around 9 a.m. at CHI Health Center arena. If you can’t attend but want to watch, CNBC will have an exclusive livestream of the event.
