ULI Arizona’s 17th Annual Trends Day is fast approaching!  Will you be joining us at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge on March 9th?  We look forward to a full day of future-focused real estate content, showcasing amazing global and local speakers, sharing timely discussions about development from both the private and public sectors and compelling issues that overarch all industry segments.  Arizona’s real estate and development industries have grown rapidly with the expanding population of our cities and counties, and this growth demands that industry leaders have a firm understanding of the trends driving change and what may lie ahead. Our goal with Trends Day is to introduce new ideas and facilitate and encourage ongoing conversations and connections.

As the 2022 Trends Days Chair, I commend the work that our committee has done to bring you an outstanding program.  With topics ranging from housing, retail, cybersecurity and proptech, to the labor gap, ESG, trends affecting aerospace, and futureproofing Arizona, there truly is something for everyone. And of course, no Trends Day would be complete without a Keynote (Leader and Chief Engineer for the NASA Mars 2020 Mission Adam Steltzner), an Economist (Spencer Levy, CBRE) and a Futurist (Jack Uldrich). Trends Day is always one of the most exciting and talked about real estate events of the year and I hope to see you there!
