From ULI San Francisco:

Has real estate piqued your interest, but you don’t know if there is a fit with your degree? Are you looking for a summer internship, first or second job out of college and want to get connected with other professionals?

Join ULI San Francisco’s Women’s Leadership Initiative’s annual event to connect with women of all ages, experiences, and alma maters to learn about a vast selection of real estate careers and how it could be one of success and satisfaction for YOU! There are careers working for a developer, an architect, various consultants, a general contractor, a marketing firm, a private equity firm, a sustainability firm, and even a bank – real estate is all around us and it takes many pieces to bring it all together.

You will hear from a panel of women who have spent most, if not all, of their careers in the real estate field. We will then join roundtable talks for a more intimate conversation on the secrets to success and career growth.

Welcome remarks by Melinda McLaughlin, SVP, Global Head of Reach, Prologis.
