The Meeting

  • Yes, we just ask that you make sure you register all guests, so we have an accurate count of who is attending. 

  • The meeting begins at 2:00 p.m. and runs for up to two hours, depending on the length of the Q&A session. We hope you will join The Reception immediately following to connect over food, refreshments, music, and entertainment. 

  • The Meeting is the time for Markel Group shareholders to ask questions of the company’s leadership. We believe it is important for our investors to ask their questions and learn from the questions of their fellow partners. We also honor our culture award winners. Please be prepared to sit for two hours. Don’t worry—there will be ample refreshments and time to unwind afterwards at our Reception!
