The real estate event of the season lit up Miami on Monday with high energy, major moments, and leadership in motion. From sunrise on the boardwalk to the neon glow of AI After Dark, eXpcon 2025 set the tone for an unforgettable week.
Laughter, lattes, and a steady stream of agents filled the Miami Beach Convention Center as eXpcon Miami 2025 came to life. Coffee in hand and badges shining, attendees from around the world greeted one another with smiles and plenty of “good to finally meet you” moments.
5K Run & Walk Benefiting eXtend a Hand
As agents laced up their sneakers, the 5K Run & Walk Benefiting eXtend a Hand, powered by HouseWhisper, set the pace for the day. The event raised funds for eXp’s nonprofit foundation, eXtend a Hand, which provides financial support to agents and staff facing hardship from catastrophic events or medical crises.
Smiles, high-fives, and finish-line photos filled the morning, a reminder that when eXp moves, it moves with purpose.
Strength and Safety: Gracie University Self-Defense for Realtors
Rener and Eve Gracie of Gracie University, the internationally recognized training organization founded by the family that created Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, led a three-hour Gracie Self-Defense for Realtors session. Agents learned 10 essential techniques to stay safe on the job — including how to break free from a grab, protect themselves in close quarters, and escape if attacked.
The session ended with applause and gratitude as attendees left empowered, equipped with practical skills they could carry into both life and business.
Mission Connect: Honoring Service and Leadership

Both sessions offered practical insights, expert instruction, and fresh opportunities to grow.
