Warren Buffett holds first Berkshire Hathaway meeting without Charlie Munger

Warren Buffett hosted the first Berkshire Hathaway meeting without his longtime partner Charlie Munger, who passed away in November. The event in Nebraska, dubbed "Woodstock for capitalists," saw thousands of attendees. Munger, who had been a pivotal figure alongside Buffett since 1978, was remembered by Buffett as the "architect" of Berkshire. The meeting also highlighted succession plans, with Greg Abel named as Buffett’s successor, and discussed Berkshire's strong financial performance, including a significant increase in operating profits.
