May 20-21, 2026 | The Westin, New Orleans
The annual gathering of the FSI real estate professional community.
Velocity is where the FSI real estate professional community comes together. Two days of education, structured introductions, and the industry relationships that build real careers in REO, distressed property, and single-family residential investment.
The 2026 conference marks a milestone: the public launch of FSI Offers and the debut of the Five Star Alliance membership.
