ULI’s annual Fall Meeting is an amazing opportunity to expand your network outside of the Bay Area. This years’ meeting is coming up from October 24-27, and it is time to start planning your trip to Dallas, Texas!

As many of our member’s know, our staff is entirely new, so we’re doing our research on what to expect at the Fall Meeting. Based on what we found, here are some of the tips we gleaned on how to maximize your Fall Meeting experience!
