I posted this a couple of weeks ago, and as so many of us are preparing for #ICSC next week, it seems vital to do it again. Since we #powerbeacons first shared this, many of us have been overwhelmed by stories of harassment and assault at many different industry conferences — and it happens in many different industries.
Conference season 2024 is here, yet for many women in real estate, it's also a time of heightened vigilance. Reports of harassment persist, impacting professionals across industries. Here are crucial safety tips to navigate these challenges:
1. Attend with a trusted companion.
2. Keep someone informed about your whereabouts.
3. Trust your instincts and leave if something feels off.
4. Watch your drink and never accept from strangers.
5. Speak up if you notice suspicious behavior.
Crafted by the Power Beacons, this video aims to shine a light on women in commercial real estate while promoting a secure environment. Let's prioritize safety and business success together. Remember, if you have any questions or wish to support initiatives for keeping women safe, please don't hesitate to reach out to any of the women featured in this video.
