Urban Land Institute Classes and Events

[Michael Fratalia]

Hi everyone,

Does anybody have any experience with an Urban Land Institute membership, classes or events? The ULI membership itself is steep but the classes aren't cheap either.

I'm located in Boston and these two events are coming up:

https://americas.uli.org/event/basic-real-estate-d...

https://fall.uli.org/

I'm trying to get my foot in the door of a development company so I can learn the ropes of some small/medium sized developments and adaptive reuse projects with the end goal of taking on my own projects down the road. 

Have any of you found any real value in a ULI membership? Are the classes of substantial quality to demand that premium? 

Thanks in advance!
