UC/ULI Conference - Friday, October 6th
The Impact of Growth & Innovation in Uptown Cincinnati
When people look at the Uptown area of Cincinnati, they tend to view it from one of the many parts that comprise the area; the University of Cincinnati, the hospital systems (UC Medical, Children’s Hospital, Tri-Health, Christ Hospital, and the VA) as well as the surrounding neighborhoods of CUF (Clifton Heights, University Heights and Fairview), Clifton, Mt. Auburn and Corryville.
Our 2023 UC/ULI Roundtable being held at the UC Digital Futures Building in Uptown, will focus on a “holistic” view of the area with our panelists discussing demographic trends, development projects of note and the trajectory for Uptown moving forward.
Roundtable Series
In 1983, the UC Real Estate Roundtable Series was created to establish and maintain links between the University and the business and real estate communities. The Roundtable series features guest speakers who present their ideas, thoughts and perspectives on a wide variety of topics that impact the real estate industry.
The Roundtable Series strives to:
- Encourage interaction between real estate professionals and UC students and faculty.
- Address issues relevant to the real estate industry and leading professionals.
- Expose real estate professionals to industry research conducted at UC and elsewhere.
The Roundtable Series is comprised of eight in-person events during our programming season of October to May. Registration is required for each event. Admission is free for UC faculty and current students.
Monthly Roundtable events typically begin at 7:30 a.m. with check-in, networking and breakfast. Program end time varies dependent on topic and event structure.
Our Roundtable membership is made up of more than 200 industry leaders. As our numbers continue to grow, the roundtables promise to be a rich opportunity for high-quality programming and networking.
