2020 Virtual Symposium: The Inclusive Region
Presented by LISC San Diego, the 2020 Inclusive Region symposium will bring together local and national experts to launch a multi-year initiative in the San Diego-Tijuana region.
Our world is changing at a breakneck pace. Now more than ever we must join together as a community for difficult introspection and collaboration for a better future.
For more than two decades, ULI San Diego – Tijuana has developed a reputation for provocative and educational programs focused on real estate, the built environment, and the principles of responsible land use.
We are launching a month-long series of virtual events that present a range of topics central to our latest initiative, The Inclusive Region: Facing Challenges and Opportunities in the New Normal. Attendees will hear from national leaders on four core tenants of this theme, including:
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
- Public Space and Public Health
- Innovation and Leadership
- The Built Environment
Click here to register. You’ll receive a discount when signing up for all four.
