From the perspective of the BPCON Planner, who is also an investor and obsessed with helping people find their people to achieve their financial independence goals.
Key Takeaways

- Keynotes from Morgan Housel, Dave Meyer, and Chad Carson, plus a stacked lineup of featured speakers including Henry Washington, Ashley Kehr, Tony Robinson, James Dainard, Amanda Han, and Garrett Brown.
- Three sessions focused on RE agent-specific content and networking
- And as a bonus for reading this, use the promo code GUIDE for $100 off your ticket!
First, I need you to know something about me: I love this conference… genuinely count-down-the-days, tell-everyone-I-meet-about-it love it. And BPCON 2026 is shaping up to be a favorite because:
- I love the layout. It might seem like a small thing, but BPCON’s programming is all happening under one roof, and everything is centrally located. This means there’s more time for networking between sessions because all breakout sessions, keynotes, the sponsor hall, and events will take place just a few feet from each other!
- I’m pumped about the networking track. This is something we’ve been refining over the last couple of years, and I think we finally cracked the code.
- Orlando is great for extending your trip and planning golf rounds, theme park outings, and more. And of course, talk to your tax professional about how your BPCON trip expenses could be a tax write-off!
Whether you already grabbed your ticket or you’re still on the fence (get off the fence!), here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your trip.
Inspiring Expert Keynotes
Experience three incredible keynotes and two other bonus General Sessions open for anyone to attend!
- Morgan Housel: New York Times bestselling author of The Psychology of Money (Dave Meyer is geeking out over this one!)
- Chad Carson: Author and podcaster with 30+ rental properties. (Does that brief description really do him justice? If you’re not familiar with Chad, check him out ASAP!)
- Dave Meyer: Head of Real Estate at BiggerPockets, BiggerPockets Podcast host, and author. (I don’t need to tell you how awesome Dave is; you already know!)
You’ll hear from many other voices too:
And so many more!
Many of these familiar voices are from the BiggerPockets Podcast, Real Estate Rookie, On the Market, and the BiggerPockets newsletter, with some new folks featured as well!
Four Focused Session Tracks
We built this year’s programming around four tracks:
- Strategy Deep Dive: For investors ready to master proven tactics, define your buy box, and learn how to pivot as the market shifts.
- Portfolio Mastery: For investors optimizing and scaling, improving cash flow, and planning that transition away from active income.
- Systems & Solutions: For the investors who want to streamline everything, automate with AI, and stop leaving money on the table with taxes and risk.
- Peer Networking: Brand new this year! Expert-led Q&As and small, strategy-specific groups so you’re connecting with people who are doing what you want to do and understand your pain points.
Can’t-Miss Events
We don’t do boring events. My motto is, “Why not make it fun?”
We’ll kick off the event with a Tiki Takeover sponsored by Steadily. This is your excuse to whip out your Hawaiian shirt, grab a refreshing tiki cocktail from the open bar, and indulge in pre-dinner bites as you explore the exhibit hall and mingle with other investors. The entertainment is also one of the most unique offerings I’ve ever seen, and it’s very much in the tiki theme!
The closing event is truly a can’t-miss event, so book your flight accordingly because you’ll want to be there Sunday night! We’re transforming the Hilton’s promenade into a Cash Flow Carnival, sponsored by Easy Street Capital. You can expect lots of entertainment offerings, a live six-piece band, indulgent fair-themed food and drinks, and much more! There will be something to explore everywhere you look.
This is your final chance on-site to hang with your real estate friends, old and new, and have some fun!
There might be a few more surprises planned… but I can’t tell all of my secrets (yet). Just know that I learned last year how much y’all love an after-afterparty.
The full schedule of events can be found here.

Where All the Action Is: Hilton Orlando
We’re at the Hilton Orlando this year, and as I mentioned, it has a prime setup for our group. It’s resort-style with tons of space for spontaneous hallway conversations (one of the best parts of BPCON, honestly), on-site dining and lounges, a centrally located hotel bar, a spa, and pools that are basically an unofficial networking lounge.
It’s also minutes from Universal’s brand-new Epic Universe, so if you want to extend the trip into a little theme park detour, here’s your excuse. This is another great reason for you to talk to your tax pro and see if it makes sense to bring the whole family!
You definitely want to stay where the action is, especially with late nights and early mornings. Book your discounted room now while they last!
Pro tip: Looking to reduce your travel costs? Try “hotel hacking” and find a buddy to share a room! You make a new friend and have a buddy to hang with at the conference and compare notes, all while saving on costs. It’s a win/win!
Who’s Going?
We welcome Rookies who haven’t closed a deal yet, the same way we welcome investors with 50 doors. We understand what you need varies, and we have a little something for everyone.
Our formal content is best for Rookies and scaling investors with two to 20 deals, but the networking is awesome no matter where you are in your journey.
BPCON is also great for RE professionals like lenders, property managers, and agents—and we even have three dedicated sessions focused on agents this year.
Pro tip: Before you travel, take a few minutes to think about who you actually want to meet. Whether it’s your next partner, a lender, your accountability buddy, or the friend who finally gets why you talk about cap rates at dinner, they are all going to be in this room. Go in with a plan, and you’ll get so much more out of it.
Download the Whova app early (more on that below!) to make the most of the networking even before the conference begins.
What to Pack
Wear what makes you most comfortable! Most people lean business casual, with an extra emphasis on casual. Pack your swimsuit and sunscreen for the pool, but also throw in a layer or two because conference rooms typically run cold.
We love to see people get in theme, so bring a Hawaiian shirt or resort wear for the opening party (Tiki Takeover) and something a little out of the ordinary for the closing event (Cash Flow Carnival). Think neon, glitter, quirky accessories like bowties or boas, and bold colors. Let’s make it fun!
First Time at BPCON? Start Here
If this is your first BPCON, first off—welcome, you’re going to love it. Second, here’s exactly how I’d walk into this thing if I were doing it for the first time:
- Step 1: Lock in your ticket, hotel, and travel. Get yourself in the room. A General Admission (GA) ticket is perfect for first-timers.
- Step 2: Add the first-timers session on Friday morning. Yes, it costs a little extra, but this small-group session (led by Rookie co-hosts Ashley & Tony) is built specifically to set you up for success and get you real, in-person connections before the conference even officially kicks off. I say it’s worth every penny.
- Step 3: Get on the Whova app early. This is the event app—networking, announcements, the full schedule—all of it lives here. The second it launches, download it, build out your profile, and start connecting. And don’t be shy about creating your own meetup—someone has to take the wheel, and it might as well be you! You won’t be the only one stepping up either, because we had 100+ attendee-led meetups last year!
- Step 4: Build your own agenda. Figure out what’s right for you—the sessions you want, how much time you’re spending networking versus learning, and when you need to just sit by the pool and recharge for 20 minutes. None of it’s locked in, and you can change sessions whenever you want, even five minutes before one starts.
- Step 5: Write it down: the energy, the inspiration, the idea that hit you during a keynote, the person you need to follow up with. Whatever you do, don’t let that feeling evaporate the second you land back home—document it so it can actually propel you toward your goals. We call this the “conference high,” and you don’t want to lose that feeling!
If you’re coming to soak in as much session content as possible, here are some tips:
- Leave the laptop in the room. Emails will still be there on Monday, I promise.
- We’ll have journals so you can take physical notes, and you’ll likely retain way more than you think. If you really want the laptop, turn off your email/Slack/etc. to minimize distractions.
- Good to know: The slide decks typically go out after the event, but we will also attach them in the Whova app when we can. If you’re someone who likes to print out the decks to take notes, we welcome that!
If you’re mostly there for the connections… you’re in the right place. Between 100+ attendee-led meetups and the new Peer Networking track, there is no excuse to leave without a full contact list.
Download the Whova event app early. You’ll get an email once the app is live. You can download the Whova app, create your profile, browse the attendee list, view exhibitors, create meetups, and more. You can start networking long before you arrive in Orlando, and the app makes it easy to find your people.
Pro tip: Create meetups ahead of time! For example, you can create a meetup just for investors in the Carolinas, or STR investors in Florida, or investors who are also in the healthcare industry, or investors who are veterans.
Still Have Questions?
Reach out to me personally! I get ALL of the emails that come to [email protected]—and I promise it’s always a human (me) answering you. I’m also happy to call you, too!
