@Ed O. Hey Ed! Until very recently I had all the original planning docs from the 2012 summit you're referring to. There were very few BP employees then (less than 5?), the founder's mom was heavily involved in planning the first summit, and it was no frills at the Denver convention center. I've only heard great things about the experience and it kicked off Josh's desire to have an annual conference, which we started in 2019!

13 years after the original summit, of course prices for the annual BPCON will be higher, but there's also more speakers (55 this year!), more events, more networking, and more perks! Also, inflation and a cooler venue now😉 

We hope to see you at BPCON2025 in Vegas! 

Hey Dan! We would love to see you and your son at BPCON! Although it may be a little larger than Cancun, we have content tracks this year to help people decide the best available option for them. You do not have to stick to the tracks, they're simply curated to help folks who might be overwhelmed with all of the options!

The tracks are:

- Advanced & Passive Investing

- STR and MTR

- Investing How-To's

- BiggerPockets Money

+ a Wild Card track, to be announced soon!

Additionally, we're going to have a dedicated networking space in the exhibit hall with different topics and hosts for these informal networking sessions. Sign up won't be required and you can pop in to attend the networking sessions at any point. We expect these to stay pretty small, 50 or less people, since most will occur during the breakout session time. This is an excellent way to meet people in a smaller group setting!

Finally, by popular demand, we will have the Whova event app this year! Attendees can make their own meetups, start discussions, and more so that you can make the most out of your time in Vegas.

If you have any additional questions about BPCON2025 you'd like to ask me personally, please don't hesitate to reach out: [email protected]

 That's awesome! Dave Meyer will be giving a keynote that includes a market outlook!

If you're interested in deeper learning, tickets aren't open for this yet, but Henry Washington will be doing a 3-hour deep dive on a similar topic. This is a workshop on Sunday before the conference officially kicks off and is called Real Estate Deal Maker: How to find deals in today's market.

Woo! Excited to have you at BPCON in Vegas! Is there a topic you're most interested in learning or is networking your primary reason for attending?

Vegas is the conference capital of the world and I'd say Caesars Palace is pretty iconic! It's in high demand so we booked in 2022 to secure our dates. October is a popular conference month since the weather is usually nice in most places (including Vegas!) and there are no major US holidays, so we have to get in 2-4 years in advance to secure our location. A lot goes into picking locations, venues, and dates we think the BiggerPockets community will enjoy! We're all very excited to be back on US soil this year and have our first-ever event in Las Vegas. 

@Laura Nelson Hey Laura! It was just brought to my attention this morning that the marketing email didn't specifically outline a final date to register with the exclusive early access discount. Please email me today and I'll honor a $100 off coupon good until midnight tonight. [email protected]

Thank you! 

 Awesome to hear and we're excited to have you back in Vegas! 

 Hi Tarama! Glad to hear you'll be joining us again for BPCON2025! I'm a North Carolinian at heart, although I now in Denver, CO. 

See you in Vegas! 

 Looking forward to having you back! As an alumni of BPCON, you can snag your ticket now for a discount if you haven't already! 

 Hey Samantha! I'm Alex, Director of Events at BiggerPockets. Obviously I'm a little biased,  but I absolutely love BPCON! I'll let others chime in on their experiences, but from a motivational perspective, I think attending live events and getting the "conference high" is something that only happens through in-person connections and being in the same room with investors who are eagerly pursuing their real estate/financial goals. 

BPCON attracts investors from all experience levels, including folks looking for their first or second deal. There's content for everyone and networking galore! Plus, we like to make it fun so there will be 2 evening events, in addition to all the daytime sessions. We don't believe in VIP tracks and want everyone to come in feeling equal so your ticket is your all-access pass, the only exception being a la carte workshops on Sunday before the conference kicks off. These workshops are 3-hour deep dives into a specific topic with no more than 100 attendees in each workshop.

The full agenda will likely be released in March at biggerpockets.com/conference and you can take a look at all content offerings then! We hope to see you in Vegas :)
