The Resilience Summit is ULI’s flagship climate adaptation event; convening industry leaders in real estate and resilience from around the world to address the challenges and harness the opportunities posed by climate risks. Featuring dynamic panels, case studies, and networking opportunities, the Resilience Summit offers a rich tapestry of insights and experiences to catalyze investment in risk reduction strategies, preserve and protect real estate value, and create thriving communities.
ULI Resilience Summit attendees represent the full gamut of real estate; from owners, developers, and investors to design professionals, government officials, and planners.
“The ULI Resilience Summit provided us with direct access to the top thought leaders on this challenging and rapidly evolving set of issues. Presenters struck a perfect balance between innovative case studies, interdisciplinary relevance, and critically framed insights. Practitioners and policymakers left not only with a new set of resources and tools for their own work, but also had a lens into the research and analysis that is changing [the] field today and will inform the future of urban resilience in the years to come.”
“The speakers were fantastic. Each one of them was knowledgeable in the field they represented, and the presentations reflected this capacity. They were also accessible, answered questions, and engaged. Overall, a great conference where I came out with new tools and questions to further my organization.”
“The panel on integrating physical risk into real estate investment decision-making was the best I’ve seen on the topic! Loved the very detailed examples of ways in which integrating physical risk depends on investment strategy, etc.”
“It was a very good day, with action-provoking, not just thought-provoking, discussion.”
“ULI continues to lead in creating a space for cross-disciplinary collaboration on climate change.”
