OREIA 2026 Real Estate Summit
November 5-8, 2026 • Cincinnati
THE NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTING SUMMIT
THE ROOM
For Independent Real Estate Investors
(and People Who Want to Be)
The market has changed.
The deals that worked a few years ago are harder to find.
Margins are tighter.
Financing is different.
Competition is different.
But here's what hasn't changed:
Some investors are still finding deals.
Still creating cash flow.
Still building wealth.
The difference isn't that they're smarter, luckier, or better connected.
The difference is that they're in the room.
The Room where strategies are shared.
The Room where partnerships are formed.
The Room where opportunities get discussed before everyone else hears about them.
The Room where experienced investors help newer investors avoid expensive mistakes
.
The Room where the people doing deals right now gather to talk about what's actually working.
That's why serious investors from across the country come to Cincinnati every November for the National Real Estate Investing Summit.
And thanks to a special partnership between WMKV Public Radio and the Ohio Real Estate Investors Association, you can support WMKV and attend the Summit at a discount at the same time!
For a limited time, when you make a pledge of just $247 to WMKV, you'll get an in-person ticket to the 2026 National Real Estate Investing Summit (want TWO tickets? Pledge $347!)
As a Special Bonus, if you pledge an extra $100 you will get VIP seats! VIP gets you recordings of every session, plus a couple of receptions with the speakers and vendors during the event.
That’s $50 less than the current registration price (and over $200 less than the price if you wait!), and every dollar of your pledge supports the programming you enjoy on WMKV, including Real Life Real Estate Investing.
PLUS, Vena’s offering an incredible bonus to everyone who pledges for a ticket: a brand new Joint Venture Agreement template and questionnaire that (along with the advice of your attorney!) will help you put together win-win deals with partners.
If you've been thinking about attending the Summit, this is one of the best opportunities you'll have all year to secure your seats while supporting public radio.
