2012 Fairfax Financial Shareholder's Dinner Information & Tickets

2012 Pre-Dinner Event

Wander over for friendly talk about value investing in a casual atmosphere before the FFH Dinner. 

The pre-dinner event will start up at 3pm this year for the few hearty souls who get in early.  (Let me know if an even earlier start is desirable.)  It will then run until just before the reception at the dinner (~5:45).

I'm going to suggest going to C'est What again unless there are strong opinions against.  It's close to the main event (10 min walk, here's a google map) and has a good selection of drinks.

Come armed with a good value stock to discuss

A pre-pre pint tradition and good value discussion sounds good.


Cheers

Yes, of course.  How else will they learn wisdom from resident expert James East - and a host of other notable value investors - while having a bouncy bubbly beverage?   

Seriously, all are invited for some casual value talk.

Anyone have recommendations on "value-oriented" hotels close by to the main events?

Thanks in advance.       -Hudsonguy

The Canadiana Backpackers Inn is pretty convenient to all of the activities and they have an internet/discount rate of $27(canadian dollars) for a dorm bed for the night. FYI: They do take deposits of $5 for the key and $5 for the linens which are refundable at check out.

Quick question for some of the veterans.  What time does the FFH annual meeting usually end?

The meeting itself and Prem's Q&A is over by about noon.  But then there is a cocktail party in the lobby for about another hour.  So everything is officially done by 1pm.  You can then come over to the Pickering/Green Rooms where MPIC Funds is doing their AGM!     Cheers!
