WIRE — Where Successful Businesswomen Meet, Share and Connect
The 2025 Florida Realtors® Women in Real Estate Conference® is scheduled for Friday, June 27 at the Hilton West Palm Beach. Event schedule is TBA.
About the Conference
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 are women on the right trajectory?
Typically held over the summer, the 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.
