Event Schedule

After checking in, network with the region’s top service providers in the Recharge Expo Hall.

The Recharge program will begin with a brief welcome from KCRAR President David Nichols and KCRAR & Heartland MLS CEO Kipp Cooper.

This session is for real estate professionals who are tired of fighting for scraps, confused by the noise, and ready to evolve into the next-level version of themselves. You’ll learn how to thrive in a changing market by becoming more valuable, more referable, and more profitable, without selling your soul or working 24/7.

You’ll learn how to become unforgettable in a sea of sameness. The real reason your clients ghost you (and how to fix it). The new skills you need to stay relevant and in demand. How to reinvent your business before the market does it for you. Tools and strategies for creating raving fans, not just one-time transactions. And how to lead with value, not desperation.

If you’re ready to level up, shift gears, and crush this next market cycle, this session is your blueprint.

  • Learn “the new way to Rayse,” using RAE, the integrated artificial intelligence assistant inside of Rayse
  • Hear about upcoming A.I. enhancements to the Cotality products at Heartland MLS subscribers’ disposal and how these enhancements can improve agent workflows
  • Learn how you can leverage Lundy’s Navigator A.I. customer service tool and Nora A.I. assistant in your business workflows

The program will break for 25 minutes, and the Expo Hall will be open.

Presentations from Bobbi Howe, Vice President of Association Affairs for NAR, and Sherry Chris, Special Advisor of Brokerages for NAR, will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by KCRAR President David Nichols.

Announcements and closing statements from David Nichols and Kipp Cooper.
