The 2016 ULI Carolinas’ Meeting will feature a Shark Tank program. Tailored after the popular television show, this engaging program brings together real estate entrepreneurs and a panel of “Sharks” to vet their proposals in the context of their decades of experience. The goal of the event is to offer the audience a look behind closed doors of an investment committee.

The session will feature two interesting and diverse investment proposals presented by real estate entrepreneurs. The Sharks will critique the presentations and ask hard-hitting questions leveraging their experiences, critical evaluation methods and quick wits. With the potential for blood in the water, the event promises to be a unique, dynamic and real-world look into the behind-the-scenes machinery of getting a real estate investment deal done.
