The Women’s Development Collaborative (WDC) hosts virtual programs and in-person events that complement the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Spring and Fall Meetings. You can see and register for this year's WDC programs here.
WDC’s programs foster connections and collaborations, showcase projects developed by women, advance knowledge sharing and best practices across the globe, and advance our mission:
- BUILD– Empower women developers and advance women-led projects
- INVEST– Expand access to capital and build wealth
- INSPIRE– Promote success, opportunity and collaboration throughout the development ecosystem
- TRANSFORM– Catalyze and elevate strong, vibrant communities
To learn more about the women WDC has showcased, please check out our Program Archives, which can be accessed from the Program dropdown menu.
WDC’s virtual programs include:
-
- Project Forum– Project Forums that support women developers through a focused 90-minute session with seasoned professionals who help them overcome their most difficult challenges. Each Project Forum is tailored to a developer's specific needs and begins with a short presentation by the developer, which is followed by advice and actionable direction from the panelist and the audience.
- Investment Forums– Roundtables and programs that educate women about how to invest in real estate and inform developers about how to assemble capital for their projects.
- Developer Forums– Programs that feature panels of developers and the ecosystem of women who help them achieve their transformative developments.
- Room of Our Own– Topical, interactive Knowledge Forums and programs that do a deeper dive into specific types of development opportunities and challenges.
- In Conversation with Developer– Programs that feature inspiring conversations with pioneering women developers.
WDC’s in-person programs feature tours and presentations by women leaders and foster collaboration across the real estate industry. In-person programs are held alongside the ULI Spring and Fall meetings and regionally with local WDC members and affiliated organizations. WDC members and students receive discounted registrations, and everyone is welcome to join us!
