One of the many benefits of an education at the Runstad Center is the unique opportunity to travel to a national conference and have exclusive access to a number of prominent figures in the industry. Our students who attended the recent ULI fall meeting had a fruitful and exciting visit to San Francisco. Shanon Ford writes in with this report from the City by the Bay:
“Recently, the Runstad Center arranged for members of the Class of 2016 to attend the Urban Land Institute’s Fall Meeting in San Francisco. This conference of over 6,500 people allowed us to experience a major national real estate conference and learn from great speakers including Condoleeza Rice, Jerry Brown, and Brian Chesky, CEO and Co-Founder of Airbnb. While the conference was great to participate in and learn from, the true value of the event was the behind-the-scenes events that the Runstad Center set up for the students. We were able to talk one-on-one with principals of several real estate companies including the huge industrial REIT, Prologis. The event was educational and fulfilling and was just another example of the broad exposure to the real estate industry the Runstad Center provides to its students.”
