University Connections Networking Roundtables
Join us for a unique opportunity for students to engage with industry leaders and gain valuable insights into the real estate profession.
Student participants will have the chance to rotate three times, meeting leaders from various markets, career levels, and professional roles. Each rotation will last for approximately twenty minutes, providing an intimate setting for small group discussions about career pathways and preparation. Historically, students have found this program to be immensely valuable, with many reporting transformational takeaways from these engaging conversations.
Forum for Young Leaders
First-Time Attendee Reception
Kick off your Fall Meeting by joining fellow first-time attendees for a special happy hour taking place during the first hour of the Welcome Reception. ULI member and staff leaders will be in attendance to welcome you, and share their insights and experiences.
Welcome Reception
Join us at the Welcome Reception to kick off the ULI Fall Meeting at The Conservatory at One Sansome in San Francisco. Don't miss the chance to reconnect with your peers!
At a time when San Francisco is investing in the revitalization of its downtown, the Conservatory at One Sansome offers a shining example of how historic spaces can be reactivated to welcome the public. As part of the city’s network of Privately Owned Public Open Spaces (POPOS), the Conservatory is open daily, inviting people to gather, dine, and experience a reenergized core of the city.
Housed in a grand 1910 Beaux-Arts banking hall designed by Albert Pissis (and expanded in 1921 by George Kelham), the space was thoughtfully restored in 2023 and reimagined as a vibrant event venue and restaurant. Blending historic character with contemporary design, the Conservatory illustrates how adaptive reuse can both honor the past and breathe new life into downtown San Francisco.
Music by Justin Ward, saxophonist will be featured.

We will first convene at the Moscone Convention Center at 6:00pm for check-in and announcements. Each dinner group will be hosted by a WLI San Francisco member, who will lead their small group on a walking tour to their restaurant destination.
Groups will enjoy a seated dinner featuring inviting fireside chats to discuss key issues and topics of the day.
