ULI NEXT Arizona consists of Peer Networking Flights of 10-12 participants that meet monthly for deep-dive discussions, professional development activities, and conversations with industry leaders. Emphasis will be placed on developing and growing strong relationships with other participants. ULI NEXT Arizona also features social events that provide the opportunity to get to know each other on an even more personal level.

“ULI NEXT creates an environment that fosters positive interpersonal communications with peers and provides a welcome forum to discuss industry topics as well as life and career successes and challenges. It provides the opportunity to develop more personal relationships with peers that go beyond traditional networking alone.”
