and association with ULI Atlanta

Our 20th Forum takes us to Savannah, GA where we will ex­plore a range of Small projects that are creating authenticity and place, regenerating neighborhoods and building a resilient local economy, set amidst one of the best examples of fine-grained urbanism in America today.  SCAD, a non-profit, anchor institution dedicated to design innovation and creative careers, will be featured for their adaptative reuse and preservation of historically significant buildings. The university’s entrepreneurial approach to regenerating the city’s structural integrity greatly contributes to Savannah’s diverse, growing economic base.  Spanning two and half days there are walking tours and case studies for a variety of project types, as well as panel discussions and individual presentations

In person attendance is now sold out…but virtual attendance is now open!   Thanks to our partnership with media partners Insignia Studios, we will be live casting over five hours of content on Monday November 6th, to all virtual ticket holders.  You can view available sessions in the adjoining agenda designated with a (V).  These panels and presentations, along with other components of the event, will be available for viewing online by virtual ticket holders for 12 months after the wrap!.

About the Small Scale Forums

The Small Developer Forum (SSDF) is the premier gathering of entrepreneurial real estate professionals working with small scale, incremental and transformative development projects. Held twice a year, each SSDF visits a new city to provide fresh inspiration and take-home lessons from a variety of projects and settings. Attended by a diverse group of over 80 individuals, the common thread is a passion for transformative real estate development and the bond created through the challenges and joy of being a small scale, entrepreneurial developer.
