About this Event
Join Home Pros Real Estate Group for The Next Level, our 2026 Education Day for real estate professionals. We’re bringing the El Paso real estate community together for a full day of conversations about building a stronger pipeline, putting better systems in place, and growing a business that can adapt as the market changes.
Will Hernandez, former UTEP football standout, NFL veteran, and founder of the Mijo Foundation, will open our keynote lineup by sharing his journey from growing up in poverty to playing in the NFL and creating opportunities for young people. In the afternoon, real estate coach and strategist Jon Storey will discuss how real estate professionals and leaders can grow and scale their businesses.
Featured speaker Jeff Knipe will share his perspective as a brokerage entrepreneur on lead generation and the systems that keep a pipeline moving. Colby James Lampman will draw on his experience growing a multigenerational real estate business to talk about leadership, systems, and long-term growth.
Frank Gay will host the day and lead a State of the Industry session. Carlos Chávez, founder of BOOM Real Estate Group, will join him as co-host and emcee.
We’ll start the morning with Coffee for Closers, connect over a boxed lunch during Lunch & Listings, and wrap up the day with drinks, light bites, and more time to meet people at Contracts & Cocktails.
General admission is $25 and open to all real estate professionals. Your ticket includes all speaker sessions, morning coffee, refreshments, a boxed lunch, the afternoon networking reception, and complimentary valet parking.
