WLI Market Exchange
In Spring 2022, ULI Austin launched its first WLI Market Exchange trip to Washington, D.C., where a group of female commercial real estate professionals from Austin toured landmark projects and developments and enjoyed an evening of curated conversations with women leaders from ULI Washington.
Building on that success, the 2024 Market Exchange took us to New Orleans for a similar experience—and now it’s become a biennial tradition!
About ULI Austin WLI Market Exchange
The ULI Austin WLI Market Exchange is a curated trip for female CRE professionals with a breadth of backgrounds to experience a U.S. real estate market different from their own. The goal of the program is threefold:
1. Build connections with other WLI groups outside of ULI Austin and foster stronger relationships inside and outside the region in which we work;
2. Create opportunities for women in commercial real estate to network and participate on a national scale; and,
3. Observe the trends and driving forces present for CRE in an outside market, which may be applicable to the Austin Metro area.
