On Saturday, May 3, 2008 I attended Berkshire Hathaway 2008 Annual Shareholders Meeting at Qwest Center in Omaha, Nebraska along with approx. 31,000 other shareholders including international shareholders from 40 foreign countries.
CNBC’s Warren Buffett Watch has done an awesome job live blogging morning and afternoon Q&A sessions with Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, so I don’t need to post my notes here. They also have other good postings about the meeting. So check it out.
I took some photos. Please see them below.

Oh, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger met with International Shareholders after Q&A and signed autographs. They signed my dollar bill. I will post this image later when I scan it.
Chander who was also present at this year’s meeting posted a nice article:
