The Education and Advisory Group houses four of ULI’s oldest programs: awards, professional development, publications, and advisory services.

Advisory Services
ULI advisory services panels provide strategic advice to sponsors on land use and real estate development issues. Panels link developers, public agencies, and other sponsors to the knowledge and experience of ULI and its membership.
Established in 1947, this fee-based program has completed over 600 panels, in 47 states, 12 countries, and 4 continents. Sponsors praise panels for their comprehensive, pragmatic approach to solving land use challenges.
