petec Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 At the moment, this page is basically a placeholder for next year's events. As a result, I'll provide only a very rough outline of them for the moment. If you want to discuss possibilities for next year, please do so in a separate thread. This one should be used only for overall scheduling purposes. Here's a quick overview of the events surrounding next year's annual meeting. I'll try to update the post as more details become available. In chronological order ... Day 1 Ben Graham Centre's Student Stock Picking Competition The Deep Value Lunch The Ben Graham Dinner Day 2 The Ben Graham Centre’s 2016 Value Investing Conference Pre-Dinner Happy Hour 10th Annual Fairfax Financial Shareholder’s Dinner Day 3 Fairfax Financial Annual General Meeting MPIC Annual Meeting YYX Toronto Value Let me know if I've missed any other events or important details. If you want to comment about a particular event, please use the appropriate thread. This one should just be used for overall scheduling purposes. I hope this qualifies as an important detail!

NormR Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 FFH has set a date. See above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormR Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 YYX Toronto Value will likely move into the afternoon of the 13th. A kind soul has taken over the organization of The Ben Graham Dinner - but it should be very similar to last year's event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoCitiesCapital Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Quick question - this will be my first time attending the Fairfax dinner/annual meeting (or any annual meeting for that matter) and I don't know if I need to do anything other than show up to both? I paid for my dinner tickets, but all I have to show for it is a line-item on my credit card statement. Do I need to provide proof of purchase or that I'm a shareholder to show up to either? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgis Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 What about the Fairfax annual meeting? Do they require some proof of stock ownership? Registration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormR Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 What about the Fairfax annual meeting? Do they require some proof of stock ownership? Registration? It has tightened up a bit over the years, IIRC. But, I think, the meeting invite you get in the mail should do the trick. If in doubt, give FFH a call.

I don't think I got anything in the mail in the past or present. I'll have to look at what (if anything) was in the brokerage online voting email or links.

Jurgis Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I looked up my past correspondence and it seems that in 2015 the proxy came around this time (March 16-18). So I guess I'll wait a bit longer to see if/when Fido sends it to me and then call Fairfax to ask if I need anything else. Edit: it's gonna be online proxy note anyway, but it might contain everything I need. I'll keep you guys posted. Let me know if you get some info too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgis Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Got Fairfax voting email from Fido today. Also Fairfax posted proxy circular at http://www.fairfax.ca/Investors/financial-reports-and-filings/financial-reports-and-filings/2015/default.aspx . However, neither of them mention anything about what I need to bring to attend the meeting. So gonna call Fairfax, probably Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a similar boat - got my Fairfax proxy materials over the weekend, but nothing about what to do to attend the shareholder meeting. Please let me know if you hear back.

Jurgis Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I called Fairfax and they told me that I just need to bring photo ID. No proxies, etc. I might also bring a print out of my brokerage statement or proxyvote vote confirmation. But they said that's not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormR Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Please note that the Pre-Dinner Happy Hour has been moved to, in Sanjeev's words, "Conferderation Room #3, which is essentially almost directly above the Imperial Room, which makes it convenient for the dinner attendees" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgis Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 If anyone wants to get together on the morning of April 13th, please shoot me a PM. Otherwise I'll probably hang out at Art Gallery of Ontario. :) Or if anyone wants to hang out at Art Gallery of Ontario... :) (Yeah I'm aware there's Graham conference, but I am not attending :) ).
