Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage and network with a small group of peers throughout the year!
To become a part of a NEXT Cohort group, please submit an application form here. The application deadline has been extended until 11:59 pm Sunday, March 10, 2024.
Structure & Commitment
This year’s program will run from May 2024 to January 2025. Upon acceptance, a mandatory kickoff happy hour will be held on Wednesday, April 3rd in San Francisco. NEXT cohort groups meet about once a month for tours, case studies, happy hours, lunches, or feature guest speakers. Each cohort group consists of approximately ten to twelve members, and groups meet around six to eight times throughout the program. Attendance and participation in cohort meetings are expected, and cohort members are expected to bring ideas on cohort activities to the group.
The Cohort Program is open for ULI NEXT members (aged 35 and up) as well as for ULI YLG members 33+ who are transitioning into new phases of their careers and into NEXT. Applications are open to members and nonmembers, and nonmembers will be prompted to join ULI upon acceptance. Interested in becoming a ULI member now? Learn more and join here.
