Everything worth keeping from Mega Camp 2026

Written up by Jason Flynn

Mega Camp is the annual Keller Williams training event in Austin. A few thousand agents in a dark room for several days. This year was structured differently, with outside speakers on the main stage for the first time, and Gary Keller running two full sessions rather than one.

I sat through all of it, took notes, and photographed every slide. These are the five sessions that were worth the trip, written up properly. No PDF to download, no form to fill in. Just the sessions, the numbers, and what was actually said.

Five quotesThe lines that stuck

I want to be really clear: no one is swiping right to buy a house. That is not happening today, it’s not happening at scale. As a matter of fact, more people than ever choose to work with real estate agents. Gary KellerMarket update Someone who’s substantially wealthy has a dollar in their pocket and every day says, I have fifty cents to live on and fifty cents to invest. People who are not financially wealthy walk around and say, I’ve got a dollar to spend. Gary KellerWealth If you get really good at understanding people in a business context, you can transfer those lessons to your personal relationships. And the other way around. Simon SinekInterviewed by Gary Keller If you are not getting consistent leads, you are not marketing. You are volunteering. Amy PorterfieldSocial media and your database If you’re not getting enough engagement, if you’re not getting enough DMs, if you’re not getting enough phone calls from social, it’s because we don’t hear you. It’s because you’re not talking to us. Corey PerlmanSocial media strategy

A note on the quotes

Every one of these was built from a recording plus my own handwritten notes. The auto transcripts struggled in that room and misattributed plenty, so speaker attribution throughout is my reconstruction from both sources. Treat the quotes as close paraphrase rather than verbatim. Where a speaker hedged their own numbers, I kept the hedge in. If you were there and I have something wrong, tell me and I will fix it.
