NAR NXT 2026 — The REALTOR Experience

November 6–8, 2026 • New Orleans, LA

About this conference

NAR NXT is the National Association of REALTORS' annual conference and expo, gathering 20,000+ real estate professionals in New Orleans for three days of education, networking and a 400+ exhibitor trade show. Sessions span residential and commercial practice, technology adoption and brokerage operations. The event runs alongside NAR's governance meetings, so association committee work and policy decisions happen in the same week — which is part of why attendance skews toward brokers, team leaders and association volunteers rather than newer agents. Following recent structural changes to commission practices across the industry, sessions on business model and compensation have taken on more weight than they historically carried. NAR membership significantly reduces the registration cost, and most attendees register through their local association.
