Reba McEntire and Housing Data Expert John Rogers to Headline NAR NXT 2026

The National Association of REALTORS® has announced that country music icon and television star Reba McEntire and housing data expert John Rogers will headline this year’s NAR NXT conference, taking place Nov. 6-8 in New Orleans.


NAR NXT, considered the largest annual real estate conference in the United States, is expected to draw more than 10,000 real estate professionals from around the world for networking, education, technology showcases, and industry insights. Registration officially opened this week.


McEntire, a Grammy Award-winning entertainer known for her decades-long music and television career, has also become familiar to the real estate industry through her recent appearances in Realtor.com®’s Nearly Home campaign. She currently stars in NBC’s “Happy’s Place” and recently released new music, including the song “One Night in Tulsa.”



Rogers serves as Chief Data & Analytics Officer for Cotality, formerly known as CoreLogic. He leads a team of more than 300 data scientists and analytics professionals focused on housing market trends, risk analysis, valuation insights, and property data solutions used across the real estate, lending, insurance, and MLS industries. 

“NAR NXT is our flagship event for the REALTOR® community, and this year in New Orleans we’re raising the bar,” Amanda Whitehead, NAR’s Vice President of Event Strategy and Member Engagement, said in the announcement.

The event is expected to feature sessions focused on housing trends, technology, business development, marketing, leadership, and emerging tools impacting the future of the industry.



More information and registration details are available through NAR.
