Speakers Café is an informal get-together for women in real estate to practice public speaking, hear the latest market trends and network. This is a free event, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors.

Each session provides a relaxed platform to hone your panel or moderating skills, gain confidence and receive feedback in a supportive environment.

You can sign up to be on a panel, either taking the role of a panellist or moderator, or register as an attendee to listen to the discussions, learn industry trends and support our speakers. During the session we provide tips and techniques on public speaking as well as feedback for the panellists.

We have a particular focus on women and ethnic minority professionals. Our speaker platform connects these professionals with speaking opportunities. We also provide a series of “in the spotlight” courses on public speaking, confidence and communications skills mostly for women in real estate, with some open to all.

Visibility brings opportunities, challenges stereotypes and provides role models. It also helps us to work towards a more diverse and inclusive industry which best serves the cities and communities in which we live and work.
