Hi, I'm Adam Desanctis. Welcome to NBA Now. I'm here today with NBA's Don Williams to discuss what you need to know about our upcoming annual convention and Expo taking place in the Mile High City, Denver, Co on October 27th through the 30th. Don, thank you for being here today. Thank you. So October is going to be here before we know it. Who are the headline speakers at this year's conference? We really have a great lineup. And thank you to our sponsors who. Don't make it possible. So we'll start off on Sunday afternoon with our market outlook. That's with MBA's team of Mike Fratantoni, Marina Walsh and Joel Kahn. They'll give us some of the latest market data and also their outlook for 2025 and beyond. And then first thing Monday morning, we hear from our new incoming Chair, Laura Escobar, the President and CEO of Lennar Mortgage and also our MBA CEO, Bob Brooks Smith. After that, we go into our lineup of guest speakers starting with Mohammed El Erian. Renowned economist. He'll give us a macro view. We also have FHFA director Sandra Thompson, FHFA commissioner Julia Gordon. We have Denver Broncos Hall of Famer Terrell Davis, and we do expect some more people to confirm, and those will be announced on our convention website. Yeah, definitely go to the website to check on that. It's going to be JPEG schedule. I know Tuesday morning we have the former speaker of the House, John Boehner, in the House to discuss the upcoming election, which would be, at that point, a week away. So that will be interesting. We also have breakout sessions. Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon, what are some of the topics on those? We really received a lot of very thoughtful proposals from our membership and we're organizing that content into three areas of focus. So market opportunities and operations policy and technology. And that will include topics like credit scoring, insurance, profitability, policy, updates on RESPA, VA lending, also the Realtor Commission changes and technology topics. You mentioned technology and we also have a general session on artificial intelligence. Guy and also a few other tech tracks as well. That's right, yeah. And in fact, it's almost like a technology conference within the annual convention this year. So as you mentioned, we are working on a general session with some of the biggest names in artificial intelligence. But then beyond that, we're going to go into topics just a broad range. Again, there's a full list on the website, but a few of those would be smart adoption, resiliency, cyber security, privacy, and, you know, anything that you need to know to keep your operation moving smoothly. It's a very exhaustive list. In fact, in, you know it, whether you're on the business side, a CEO or a manager, or if you're on the tech side, if you're a CIO, AC, so a CTO, another technology provider, there really will be content for you. Oftentimes, people who went to the tech solutions conference in the past will see that the annual convention is a good place for them this year. Yeah, technology is such an important issue right now and really touches everyone in our industry. So it's good to see that in the agenda from the main stage Tuesday. Morning, our empower session.
