RETREAT is Compass’ premier national event, bringing agents together from across the country each year to connect, learn, and grow as a community. What began as a moment to bring Compass agents together has evolved into a defining experience and this year, we’re proud to celebrate our 9th RETREAT.
RETREAT is more than just another real estate conference — it’s a reflection of who we are at Compass. This is where Compass comes alive, bringing together real estate professionals from every market across the country who seek connection, excitement, and growth. Beyond the opportunities to learn during our thought-provoking sessions, RETREAT is about the buzzing energy that exudes from all of our networking events, the conversations had between new friends and colleagues, and the shared memories created when our community comes together.
Join us for an unforgettable RETREAT experience this year in New Orleans experience designed to help you build your business, deepen relationships, and connect with the Compass community. Expect high-impact workshops, access to industry leaders, insights from our CEO, and a show-stopping keynote — culminating in a closing celebration you won’t forget.
Expand your referral network, sharpen your skills, and reconnect with the Compass community at scale.
Only at Compass. Only at RETREAT.

RETREAT is such a treat, and I’m grateful for the depth and care Compass puts into creating an elevated experience, whether it’s your first RETREAT or your ninth. The culture is unlike anything else in the industry.” — Lisa, CO/NY
“RETREAT is the clearest example of how Compass is different. The connections we make and the growth that comes from them are unparalleled.” — Jake, WI
