Inman Connect San Diego Calendar Revealed
The agenda for Inman Connect San Diego is officially live.
By July 28-30 at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marinamore 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 evolves quickly. And broker leaders, agents and teams are all asking the same question: What does sustainable growth look like now?
The 2026 Agenda is built around answering that question.
A new format for a new market
This year’s Inman Connect experience has been redesigned to delve 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 go beyond the headlines and share practical strategies that can be applied immediately.
Rather than focusing on predictions, the agenda focuses on actionable discussions about profitability, leadership, AI, consumer confidence, consolidation, recruitment and the future of real estate.
