WIRE — Where Successful Businesswomen Meet, Share and Connect

This annual event brings together real estate pros from all over the state to focus on leadership, inspiration, recharging and empowerment.

Women have long found a real estate career attractive thanks to flexible hours and a degree of independence. Even today, women handily outnumber men in this occupation.

Yet a study conducted by Florida Realtors found that women fill a smaller percentage of leadership roles. Is there a disconnect? Should things change — or have they changed?

The one-day Women in Real Estate conference (WIRE), presented by Florida Realtors, features a high-profile roster of speakers — women of influence in the real estate profession.

The 2020 WIRE conference will take place Wednesday, September 30, at Tampa Marriott Water Street, 505 Water St., Tampa. Cost is $125 with online registration. After September 23, registration will be $150 and handled on-site.

WIRE's goal is to educate, empower and promote women in the real estate profession.

Attendees will look at workforce behaviors and identify the ones that lead to success — and those that don't.
