Curious to know how your colleague, friend, cousin or neighbor (whichever works for you 😉) manages to travel all the time to places you could only ever dream of? If we didn’t know about home swapping, we’d be curious too. And that’s exactly why we created HomeExchange Days.
HomeExchange Days... What is it?
HomeExchange Days meetups are informal, welcoming gatherings organized by passionate members and designed to help you understand home exchanging through real conversations and real experiences.
Join a local member's meetup any time between 19-25 March 2026

Terms and conditions for HomeExchange Days 2026 participants
HomeExchange Days is a worldwide event organized by HomeExchange, in which members with an active membership will host in-person and online meetups between 19th and 25th March 2026.
GuestPoints for attending a meetup: Guests will receive 100 GuestPoints on March 26th 2026 if they have registered to attend a meetup, and if they have a HomeExchange account using the same email address. They can register for and/or attend more than one meetup, but will be granted the 100 GuestPoints only once.
Referral codes used by guests: Regardless of how many meetups a guest registers for and/or attends, they can only use one HomeExchange member's referral code to complete their home listing and purchase their membership. They will automatically receive 100 GuestPoints when they complete their home listing and 150 GuestPoints when they purchase their membership.
Existing members using referral codes: Members who have already paid for their membership are welcome to attend a meetup. If they have not already used a referral code, they may use their HomeExchange Days host’s referral code. In doing so, they will be eligible to receive the usual 250 GuestPoints if their home listing is complete, and their membership is active. There is no time limit on when members can use a referral code.
Special giveaway for guests: All guests who correctly register to join a meetup before March 15th will have the chance to win our special giveaway of 1,000 GuestPoints and a package of goodies. One prize is available. The winner will be notified by email, and sent a code in order to redeem their prize. GuestPoints will be added to winner’s account on March 26th, or whenever they have created their home listing. Shipment can only be made to countries in the EU, USA, Canada or UK. Only entrants who are not current or former members of HomeExchange are eligible to take part.
