Developer · Member since 2020 · 4k+ posts · 4k+ votesOP. We went to the New Orleans convention. Enjoyed it.
Will make the following suggestions again.
1. At the luncheons or happy hour areas and others. Please put up tall stand signs with different topics. MFH, BRRR, finance, insurance, commercial, BP Forum, Mobile Homes, etc etc. This will make it easier for like minded people to join and find conversations. I enjoyed meeting all of the people, but. At lunch as an example sat with a table of all new investors. But I didn't get much from it. Mainly talked about our business.
2. Do the same sign thing above. Have a break out session where investors do round table discussions on topic areas. Then switch to other tables and topics. Let them lead the discussion.
3. Your losing the BP forum. My opinion. Have a BP posters break out session. How to reduce AI participation. Introduce Mr Ale and have him describe the vision of BP and the forum posts. General lack of deals. More of a housing investment thing. Our REI there are tons of deals to do. Develop more interaction products within the forum posts. Examples: Deal of the month. Monday marketplace update. Finance Friday. Scaling Saturday. New investor ???. Military Monday. Financial freedom Wednesday. Develop add contacts for those post sessions. Bring a bunch of yellow sticky's. Through the ideas up on the wall. Walk away and develop more Forum Post interactions.
4. I like NASTY properties and situations. Have a NASTY forum. Not necessarily dirty. If I could travel all over the U.S. I would do Squatter investments in NYC and San Francisco. Would look on Loopnet, Crexi, MLS for the oldest listings. Etc etc. Make your deal. Don't bid against 20 other people.
5. Canada day- invest in Canada Also Canadians investing in the U.S.

I'm interested in attending, but I can't seem to locate a detailed agenda for the event. Everything I see is pretty general in terms of who's speaking about what topic. The at-a-glance schedule I keep seeing mentions breakout sessions (4 tracks), but nothing specific about those sessions.
Is there a specific agenda available somewhere so we can see the topics being covered in those sessions?- 🎉 Director of Events at BiggerPockets · Denver, CO · Member since 2016 · 430 posts · 438 votes3mo

Thanks, Alexandra. Is attendance for the workshops covered in the cost of the BPCon ticket, or are there separate fees for them?
EDIT: Never mind. I found the answer! - 🎉 Director of Events at BiggerPockets · Denver, CO · Member since 2016 · 430 posts · 438 votes3mo
@John Telford the Friday morning workshops are the only à la carte offering. Everything else is included!

- 🎉 Director of Events at BiggerPockets · Denver, CO · Member since 2016 · 430 posts · 438 votes3moThanks for the suggestions, Henry! We have lots of guided networking opportunities, and new since BPCON2021 in New Orleans is a networking app where attendees can create their own meetups! For example, you could have a meetup at the hotel bar for Canadian investors, or a lunch table for folks who want to talk about squatter investments like you mentioned. There are lot of opportunities to choose your own adventure and use the networking app as a tool to facilitate your connections faster--even before the conference starts! Last year we had over 100 attendee-generated meetups, so it's easier than ever to find your people at BPCON!

Hi Alexandra, I would like to bring my 15 year old with me as part of his early development as a real estate investor. Do I need to purchase a full price ticket for him?
