The agenda for Inman Connect San Diego is officially live.
From July 28–30 at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, more than 150 industry leaders, innovators and decision-makers will take the stage for three days of conversations focused on the challenges, opportunities and realities shaping residential real estate today.
This year’s event theme — The Reset Is Here. Build What’s Next. — reflects a market that has fundamentally changed. Margins are tighter. Consumers are more cautious. Technology is evolving rapidly. And brokerage leaders, agents and teams are all asking the same question: What does sustainable growth look like now?
The 2026 agenda was built around answering that question.
A new format for a new market
This year’s Inman Connect experience has been redesigned to go deeper into the conversations that matter most.
Attendees will find longer session formats, more audience interaction, hands-on workshops and expanded opportunities for speakers to move beyond headlines and share practical strategies that can be applied immediately.
Rather than focusing on predictions, the agenda centers on actionable discussions around profitability, leadership, AI, consumer trust, consolidation, recruiting and the future of brokerage.
