New Home Star Executives Attend 2026 HousingWire Home Builder Summit

(Dallas, TX) October 21, 2026 — On October 19-21, 2026, New Home Star’s Senior Vice President of People Development, Keith McKinney, and Vice President of Marketing, Chris Laskowski, attended the 2026 HousingWire Home Builder Summit in Dallas at The Adolphus Hotel. The three-day event, which New Home Star sponsored, focused on instilling the strategic leadership needed to confront home building’s biggest challenges and support future-ready organizations.

Laskowski joined Char Kurihara of DRB Group and John McManus of HW Media for the panel discussion “From insight to execution: How customer intelligence helps builders grow smarter, spend less and convert more.” The session explored how customer intelligence gains value when it expands beyond organizational boundaries by informing land, product marketing, sales, and the operating decisions that ultimately determine customer value. McKinney also spoke at the event.

At an exclusive post-event dinner, New Home Star hosted some of the nation’s top builders for a night of networking and thought-provoking conversations over a menu of curated dishes.
