• Urban Universities Investing in Neighborhood Revitalization & Innovation Districts

• Planned improvements to existing facilities & opportunities for those in the real estate industry to be involved in these projects

• What role do you think anchor institutions play in the fabric of a city and its economy?

This senior-level forum will once again be the premier platform to unite and network face-to-face with education & healthcare professionals, commercial real estate owners & developers, investment banks, family offices, and high-net worth Investors.
