Hey, I am back from the city of Baltimore - it was a great conference - ULI really does a good job at being useful (and you get AICP credits) - Baltimore is a nice city, wasn't expecting anything, so everything was a surprise

ULI is useful sometimes yes, I used to get my employer to pay for me to attend their panels in NYC when I worked in the housing world. Very real estate and business focused, but when you need that kind of connections to try and syndicate a tax credit deal, ULI is useful ;)
 
I had a great experience with ULI at my last employer. They did a TAP (Technical Assistance Program) which features a panel of their members from various disciplines. They came to my city and were fully immersed for like 2 days and produced a very impressive plan and guide for the future redevelopment of an older industrial area directly adjacent to a thriving downtown. There was some staff work on the front end with having to prepare a briefing book and then leading a tour when they arrived but it was a very positive experience and I highly recommend it.
