Building gender parity at Real Estate events (UKREiiF 2023 Fringe Event)

This event will touch upon the online response of the recent social media content posted by the ‘MIPIM Lads’ Twitter account that highlights gender biases and the subsequent article in The Architects’ Journal. We ask: Is the MIPIM Lads Twitter account a real representation of the state of affairs of our industry events today or is it a gross exaggeration of male values in the industry for comedic effect?
