“I highly recommend the NKBA Shark event at KBIS after my experience in 2026. After several days of strong booth attendance in our show booth, we were curious if the Shark Event would be a worthwhile effort to connect with some new rep agencies. We had several markets open and seeking new agency reps. Within minutes, we met the first rep agency that was a perfect fit for an open market and ended up signing up 3 new rep agencies from that singular event. For us, it was very beneficial, and the format kept the interactions fun and engaging. Looking forward to participating again in the future.” – Vik Szemerei, Sr. VP of Sales
