Attending Service World Expo 2025 isn’t just about the sessions — it’s about the full experience of learning, networking, and exploring in Las Vegas. Every year, contractors leave SWE not only with new skills and vendor connections but also with stories and memories from time well spent with peers. Whether you’re new to SWE or a returning attendee, here are the highlights you won’t want to miss this year.
Can’t-Miss SWE Highlights
- Keynote Speakers – Each year, SWE brings in nationally recognized names. Expect to hear from industry leaders and big-name personalities who inspire, challenge, and energize attendees.
- Breakout Sessions – With more than 25 sessions, there’s something for everyone. Contractors attend for practical business skills — from hiring strategies to marketing hacks — that they can take home and apply right away.
- Expo Hall – This is the heart of the event: over 200 products and services showcased under one roof. You’ll see the latest technology, software, and equipment that can transform how you run your business.
- Networking Events – SWE is known for its unique networking opportunities. The legendary costume party at Drai’s is the most talked-about social event, but you’ll also find casual mixers and VIP experiences designed to help you connect.
Why Las Vegas Makes It Even Better
Las Vegas isn’t just a backdrop — it’s part of the SWE experience.
- Entertainment – Cirque du Soleil shows, stand-up comedy, and A-list concerts give you endless evening options.
- Dining – Enjoy celebrity-chef restaurants, international cuisines, and casual spots perfect for team dinners.
- Sightseeing – The Strip is iconic, but venture to Fremont Street for a different vibe or head to Red Rock Canyon for a quick break from the neon.
Tips to Make the Most of Your Trip
- Use the Agenda Builder – Map your days so you don’t miss key sessions or expo time.
- Plan Expo Hall Visits – Block at least 2–3 hours to walk the floor. Divide it among your team so you can compare notes.
- Leave Flex Time – Some of the best connections happen when you’re not rushing. Leave a block open each day for impromptu meetings or conversations.
- Balance Work and Play – Schedule one evening for networking, another for enjoying the city. Both are valuable.
