What’s Happening in Luxury
October 2026
September Brought the Momentum & Now Chicago Is Calling
What a month. And honestly? We're just getting started.
September gave us so many chances to learn, connect, and grow. Brady Sandahl kicked things off with our Monthly Luxury Training Call, and the month only picked up speed from there.
Our KW Luxury Pro members kept raising the bar. Dan Polimino led our Connection + Collaboration Mastermind, "The Invisible Pipeline: How to Turn Website Traffic Into Millions in Closed Business." Think of it as a playbook for turning website visitors into real clients. Later in the month, our Symposium sponsor Home Stories took the lead on Luxury Pro Sales Training with "Discovery Beyond the MLS: Data Does Not Win Listings, Stories Do." Numbers get you in the door. The story your client remembers gets you the signature. And every Thursday, our Book Club showed up to work through The ONE Thing by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan. Good book. Even better conversations.
September also brought us together in person. On September 16, the Luxury Boardroom and The Luxury Workshop landed in Asheville, North Carolina. Beautiful venue. Amazing connections. And our Pro members got something extra: an exclusive mastermind and hosted just for them.
Now for October. This is the month we've built toward all year. We start October 7 with an Introduction to KW Luxury Pro, our Monthly Luxury Training Call, and the Regional Ambassador Meeting. The Connection + Collaboration Mastermind follows on October 14, and Book Club keeps rolling every Thursday. Then we head to Chicago. We'll wrap the month with Luxury Pro Sales Training on October 28. Find every event and RSVP in the KW Luxury Circle Hub.
Here's the big one. We're just 12 DAYS away from the luxury event of the year!
The KW Luxury Symposium 2026 takes over the Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park, October 18–20. Day one, you build your brand. Day two, your business. Day three, yourself. You'll get three keynotes, eight luxury strategy sessions, four small roundtables, and two evening receptions with top luxury agents from across the network. And it doesn't stop there. On October 20, Symposium Encore gives you four more hours with a hosted lunch and hands-on training, so you leave with a real plan, not just a full notebook. Encore is complimentary for all Symposium attendees. Unable to commit to three days at Symposium but still want to learn? Any KW agent, leader, or guest is welcome to join us. Encore is a true working afternoon. Together, we take what we learned at Symposium and put it to work in your business: how to generate it, how to run it well, and what will matter most. If Chicago is not on your calendar yet, now is the time to add it! Whether three days or one afternoon, your business will thank you! RESERVE YOUR SEAT
Thank you for being part of this community. It means more than you know.
We can't wait to see you in October. And in 12 days, in Chicago.
