Ben Rabidoux, Edge Analytics
What is the market actually telling us?
That’s a question Ben Rabidoux is very good at answering.
We’re pleased to welcome Ben of Edge Analytics back to ASCEND 2026 for a deep dive into the data, trends and economic factors shaping Canada’s housing market.
Ben is known for taking complicated housing and economic data and turning it into clear, practical insights that real estate professionals can use to better understand the market and make informed decisions.
Because staying informed isn’t just about knowing what happened last month. It’s about understanding what the numbers could be telling us about what comes next.
Ron O'Neil, Founder of AI Intelligent Solutions
AI is changing the way we work. The question is: are we keeping up?
We’re excited to welcome Ron O’Neil of AI Intelligent Solutions back to ASCEND 2026.
Ron brings years of experience in real estate, training and professional development, along with a focus on helping professionals understand how artificial intelligence can be used in practical, effective and responsible ways.
His session will look beyond the hype and into the ways AI can actually help real estate professionals work smarter, save time and adapt to a rapidly changing industry.
Valeria Garcia, Speaker & Author
Change is happening. The question is what we do with it.
We’re thrilled to have Valerie Garcia joining us as a keynote speaker for ASCEND 2026.
Valerie Garcia’s keynote explores how shifting your perspective can change the way you approach your business and create more powerful customer experiences.
Drawing on stories and strategies from some of the world’s top companies, Valerie shares practical ideas for challenging the way we think, seeing opportunities differently and making small shifts that can lead to significant results.
Her energetic and engaging approach will leave you thinking differently about your business, your customers and what’s possible when you change your perspective.
