This section is straight forward but here are a few things to think about ahead of time:

Photograph
The image for the profile photograph needs to be larger than 500x500 pixels. You can resize the image
(zoom-in) only upon upload. Once you save it, the crop and the size will set.

Please also upload your photograph in the Download section. This is for event organisers and journalists to
use for their events/articles and should be high resolution as it might be used for print (brochures/press).

Languages
Only add those languages that you are comfortable presenting in.

This is where you further explain the event organizers what topics you can talk on. Keep the text to 500
characters. See examples on page 5.

Full biography

memberships. It would also be great if you could add to your biography that you are a part of the Women
Talk Real Estate network. Keep the full biography to 1500 characters. See examples on page 5.
