Thrive & Prosper: Strategies for Women in Business

The International Women’s Day 2025 theme, Accelerate Action, is a worldwide call to acknowledge the strategies, resources and activity that positively impact women's advancement, and to support and elevate their implementation.

The real estate sector offers great opportunity and evidence of the extraordinary work done by women in the sector. This year, we celebrate IWD with a focus on empowering women for financial and business success. Bring your team, friends and peers to hear from women who have achieved great business success and continue to build on their legacy.

Keynote speaker Jessica Brady, award-winning financial advisor, founder of The Greenhouse Money Growing Program and the online platform, Ladies Talk Money, will take us on a journey to discover fresh perspectives to business and reshape the way we think about success.

The keynote will be followed by a panel discussion with real estate industry leaders, who each have built successful real estate careers:

Jemimah Clegg, Property News Editor, REA Group

Lisa Pennell, Chief Executive Officer, Barry Plant

- Emily Wallace, Director, Wallace Advocates

The discussion will be facilitated by, Sophie Lyon, Partner Real+ training and REIV member of over 30 years.
