What To Expect…
Get ready for a convention experience that’s as valuable as it is enjoyable. At the 2026 NIOP Annual Convention, attendees can expect to take part in sessions that are timely, relevant, and applicable to their day-to-day work. NIOP is intentional in its convention programming, reserving space in the agenda for “hot topics”—issues that are especially pressing and important to our membership—ensuring the content stays fresh, responsive, and impactful. We promise to deliver an agenda that is strategic and dynamic, making your attendance well worth the investment.
But it’s not all business—NIOP also builds in plenty of time for fun and connection. You’ll enjoy ample social opportunities to meet, mingle, and build relationships with fellow attendees and industry peers.
And when we say we plan memorable experiences, we mean it. In 2026, we’re bringing back fan-favorite events like Hit the Boat and our Monday night dinner + concert—this time featuring a brand-new band! Returning to one of our attendees’ favorite spots, The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa – this year is sure to deliver!
