Your ultimate agent-approved packing list for real estate’s hottest week
Miami mindset? Check. Business cards? Double check. Comfortable shoes? You already know.
With a high-energy agenda, elevated style and countless opportunities to grow your business, this year’s experience promises unmatched value. From networking with top producers to engaging with thought leaders, you’ll want to show up ready.
To help you do just that, we’ve put together a stress-free packing guide focused on the essentials. Here’s everything you need to show up confident, comfortable and ready to make the most of eXpcon 2025.
1. Comfortable shoes
This one’s nonnegotiable. You’ll be bouncing between sessions, events and maybe a mixer or two:
- Cushy sneakers
- Polished flats
- Walkable sandals or fashion trainers
- Blister cushions (just in case)
Agent tip: Break your shoes in before Miami. Your feet will thank you.
2. Fit check: Miami-ready outfits
This is a room full of innovators, creators and doers. You’ll see everything from T-shirts and sneakers to breezy dresses, bold prints and suits. Some people dress to impress. Others dress to move. Both are right.
Our advice: Pack what makes you feel confident, comfortable and ready to connect.
- Daytime sessions: Comfortable basics you can sit, walk and network in: polos, tees, sundresses, linen pants or a go-to pair of denim.
- Evening events: Elevate with a jacket, cool kicks or a standout accessory, but keep the vibe authentic.
- 5K Run/Walk and Gracie University Realtor Safety: Sneakers, workout clothes and socks that won’t betray you.
Agent tip: Even though it’s Miami, the Convention Center can get cool, so pack a light sweater or shawl…you’ll thank us later.
3. Miami nights: AI After Dark and The Final Wave
The week begins with AI After Dark, the official opening reception — a high-energy kickoff inside the transformed Expo Hall that’s part celebration, part immersive tech experience. It all wraps up at The Final Wave, our closing reception at Loews Miami beach front, with music, dancing and sunset vibes on the sand.
Pack at least two evening outfits that feel fun, breathable and celebration-ready — without sacrificing comfort.
- Statement jumpsuit or outfit you feel amazing in
- Elevated casual look (crisp tee, relaxed dress or linen set)
- Shoes you can stand — or dance — in for hours
- Light layer for ocean breezes
Agent tip: Miami nights are hot. Your outfit doesn’t need to be.
4. Business and session essentials
Think of it as a business trip — with more palm trees and better coffee.
- Notebook and extra pens/highlighters
- Sticky notes or page tabs for golden nuggets
- Digital business card or QR code badge
- Laptop or tablet and chargers
- Tote or crossbody bag for easy carry
Agent tip: If you want to save room in your luggage, the Brand Store has you covered with pens, journals, bags, water bottles, luggage tags, beach towels, and all of your favorite eXp fits.
5. 5K Run/Walk and Gracie University Self-Defense Training for Realtors essentials
Yes, we’ve got sessions to keep you active and on your toes with the 5K Run/Walk and Gracie University Realtor Training so don’t forget to pack:
- Lightweight running shoes
- Humidity-friendly athletic outfit
- Hat/visor and sunscreen
- Headphones and playlist
- Water bottle
- Bandaids or blister cushions
Agent tip: Hydrate and moisturize beforehand.
6. Expo and Brand Store must-haves
Between vendor freebies and exclusive eXp merch, you’ll want space to bring things home.
- Foldable tote or duffel bag (but you can also snag something at the brand store if you forget!)
- Packing cubes to stay organized
Agent tip: “Just browsing” is a lie we all tell ourselves at the Brand Store.
7. Style meets function
- Stylish fanny pack or crossbody (hands-free networking = win)
- Extra pair of sunglasses (just in case)
- Wrinkle-release spray or mini steamer
Agent tip: Hands-free is the way to go. A fanny pack wins every time.
8. Wellness and touch-up kit
Pack a small survival kit to stay fresh, focused and camera-ready:
- Electrolyte packets (you’ll thank yourself later)
- Mini first-aid kit: Advil, bandaids, blister balm
- Dry shampoo
- Eye drops
- Hand sanitizer and wipes
- Breath mints or gum
- Refillable water bottle
- Mini deodorant
Agent tip: Late nights and early keynotes happen. Pack like your future self forgot to sleep.
9. Don’t forget these power moves (see what we did there?)
Tech items that will save your life — or at least your phone battery:
- Power strip (especially if rooming with teammates)
- Portable battery bank
- Ring light or tripod for content creation
- AirPods or earbuds
- Extra charging cables
- QR code badge with your links and contact info
Agent tip: A dead phone = missed connections. Don’t forget the backup battery.
