Capstone held their annual Spring Networking event last week, with 120 female property professionals and male champions of change in attendance.

The event, co-hosted with Dexus in Sydney, was part of the 500 Women in Property program for 2018.

500 WIP provides a platform for women in the property industry to network and build strong relationships that could help in the development of their careers. The program was established by the Property Council of Australia in 2016 as 100 Women in Property – with a target to support 100 women across the country build their networks and knowledge. In 2017 the demand for the program grew significantly with an intake of 500 sponsors and 500 participants across the country. As a result, the Property Council re-branded the initiative 500 Women in Property to reflect its achievement and ongoing aspiration for this important program.

Will Harrington, Director at Capstone encouraged the room to “speak to people who are out of your current network to broaden your horizons”. “Hopefully this event can provide you with that platform.” Will concluded.

Reflecting on diversity within the property industry and the important role that networking plays in building careers, Portfolio Manager at Dexus, Alex Brownlee also shared her own career journey.
