What Makes this Event Special?
Last year, our event drew over 220 attendees for networking, refreshments and a lively panel discussion among some of Southern California’s most established and interesting real estate investors. The reason our event has succeeded while other conferences sometimes draw limited attendance include three main factors:

(1)  Great Panel.
The panel discussion is unusually candid, as we track a core group of investors through the full real estate market cycle. This ”longitudinal study” aspect of our event is unique. We are told each year that our panel is one of the best, or the best, among all the California conferences.

(2) The Price is Right.
At only $20 per person ($15 with pre-registration), including food, beer and wine, there is no better value than our conference. We thank our key sponsors including the Ziman Center at the Anderson School, and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, for keeping the cost to a minimum.

(3) Excellent Networking.
Our event starts with a one-hour reception during which you will meet valuable contacts in a collegial atmosphere. At the reception and after the discussion, you can meet the panelists and other professionals and investors in our industry.

We would like to invite you to the 2012 AREA Career Night to network with other industry professionals and to get to know the talented real estate students at UCLA Anderson. This year we have an exceptional class of real estate students and while many companies have not yet determined their hiring needs for the year, this event is a great opportunity to connect with AREA members and network with industry leaders.  Career Night will include a networking reception, a keynote presentation by Guy Johnson, and roundtable discussions with students. As an added benefit, all companies in attendance will receive copies of the 2012 resume book containing the resumes of each UCLA Anderson Real Estate student. The fee to attend is $300 to assist AREA in paying for the expenses of the event. This will ensure that your company will be included in the event brochure, receive a resume book, and be guaranteed face time with students.  You are also encouraged to bring collateral materials from your firm.  Once your registration is processed, you will receive event details including directions, parking information, and a listing of companies that will be in attendance.
