YLG Connect: Perspectives on City Building from Toronto’s Developing Leaders
Metro Toronto Convention Centre | 206 BDF
Every day more people are choosing to call Toronto home, which has become North America’s fastest-growing city. To keep up with this unprecedented growth, developers are having to be innovative in their approach to city-building, and it’s no surprise that young leaders are leading that charge.
Join four talented, rising stars as they share firsthand accounts of what it’s like to work on marquee city-building projects and the career development insights they have gained along the way. This panel will focus on four mixed-use, master-planned projects that focus on developing complete, sustainable, thriving communities that Torontonians will one day call home.
YLG Impact
Metro Toronto Convention Centre | 206 BDF
Following the YLG Connect session, focusing on young leaders in the Toronto area, the YLG Impact session will be a fireside chat between ULI Americas YLG co-chairs, Katie Maslechko and Chandler Hogue, with two members of the Americas Executive Committee (AEC) Networks members, Ash Lawrence and Sara Neff. They will use the one-hour session to explore AEC goals, the importance of Young Leaders in our network, and how YLG can support the mission of the AEC and ULI as a whole.
