ULI NEXT: Shaping the Future Leaders of Austin’s Built Environment

The Urban Land Institute (ULI) Austin’s NEXT initiative identifies, connects, and empowers the next generation of leaders shaping Austin’s built environment and ULI itself. It provides mid-career professionals (aged 35-45) with a meaningful way to stay engaged with ULI as they progress towards leadership positions in the industry.

ULI NEXT will no longer have an application process, but instead will have a series of focused events, including tours, panels, networking events, and a volunteer event.  The new NEXT programing will start in September.

Engaging Events and Networking Opportunities

ULI NEXT events are open to all ULI Full or Associate members within the target age range. Planned by the NEXT Steering Committee, these events take place from September to May and offer a variety of formats, including panels, tours, social gatherings, and more. Each event aims to deliver valuable industry-related content alongside targeted networking opportunities specifically geared towards professionals aged 35-45.
