MIKE ROWE TO HEADLINE 2026 MX SUMMIT IN RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA

RAPID CITY, S.D., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Property Meld is proud to announce that Mike Rowe, Emmy Award-winning TV host, bestselling author, and leading advocate for skilled trades, will headline the 2026 MX Summit, taking place this September in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Best known as the creator and host of Dirty Jobs, Rowe has one of the most recognizable voices championing the value of hard work, skilled labor, and the essential workforce that keeps industries running. Through his work with the mikeroweWORKS Foundation, Rowe has helped reshape the conversation around vocational careers and workforce development, making his perspective especially relevant for today's property management leaders navigating ongoing maintenance challenges.

The MX Summit, hosted annually by Property Meld, brings together property management leaders, operators, and industry innovators focused on improving maintenance operations and driving better outcomes across the resident experience. With a reputation for high-impact content and meaningful connections, the event continues to grow as the premier gathering for maintenance excellence.

"Our customers depend on the skilled trades every single day, so the future of that workforce is deeply personal to this industry," said Ray Hespen, CEO and Co-Founder of Property Meld. "Mike Rowe brings credibility, perspective, and a voice people trust. Pairing that with a real conversation about AI and where things are headed makes this one of the most important moments, we have ever had on the MX Summit stage."

Rowe will take the stage for a fireside chat with Property Meld' VP of Operations and AI Enablement, Aaron Seaholm, followed by a live audience of Q&A, delivering a highly interactive and engaging experience for attendees. The discussion will dive into one of the most pressing topics facing the industry today: how artificial intelligence is poised to reshape the skilled trades, and what that transformation means for sectors like property management that rely heavily on this workforce. With Rowe's signature wit and unfiltered perspective, attendees can expect a thought-provoking and candid dialogue that challenges assumptions and explores the future of work in a rapidly evolving landscape.

The 2026 MX Summit is expected to draw hundreds of property management professionals from across the country to Rapid City for multiple days of learning, networking, and innovation.
