Succession, capital deployment, Wells Fargo, Kraft Heinz, and acquisitions are likely to be topics that CEO Warren Buffett addresses at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting Saturday in Omaha, Nebraska.

The gathering — which Buffett calls the Capitalist Woodstock — could top the previous attendance record of 42,000, Buffett recently told an Omaha newspaper, as Berkshire shareholders savor what could be one of the last opportunities to see both Buffett, 87, and vice chairman Charlie Munger, 94, hold forth at the annual meeting.
