BRKa/b - I've never been to Omaha. I know folks who've gone in the past. My impression is that it's a crowd scene - 20,000 of your closest friends <gulp!>. I read the reports online, Whitney Tilson's notes, and the OID review much later. For myself, for many years I've attended Munger's Wesco meeting in Pasadena the Wednesday after Omaha. Far as I can tell, it repeats much of the discussion from the Berkshire meeting. Plus it has unadulterated Charlie. In the past it was very small. Before the meeting you had the opportunity to chat with Charlie over coffee. At various meetings I've been able to ask questions of Lou Simpson and his staff, talk to Janet Lowe, meet value guys, question Alice Schroeder, quiz folks from Precision Steel, CORT, etc. And of course get rather candid responses from Charlie. HOWEVER..........Last year the meeting spilled over into two rooms at the University Club. The second room was serviced by closed circuit TV. ie, it's now an event. I notice that this year it will be held at the Pasadena Hilton. I wonder about its investment utility????
