Kamala Harris will speak at a real estate conference on the Gold Coast in Australia next month, with organisers hailing her as a “trailblazer” but shielding her from all media requests.
The former US vice-president, who lost November’s US election to Donald Trump, will participate in person in a moderated on-stage conversation at the Australasian Real Estate Conference.
Harris is one of 32 speakers scheduled to speak at the conference, along with the US real estate broker and reality TV personality Mauricio Umansky, gold medal-winning Olympians Emma McKeon and Ariarne Titmus, and the British entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, with the latter appearing via satellite.
Speakers are available to the media except for Harris. “No interviews” was listed next to her biography.
Founded by Australian property mogul John McGrath, the chief executive officer of the ASX-listed McGrath Estate Agents, the event will be held on Queensland’s Gold Coast in late May.
In a statement, the organisers said Harris’ participation in the conference would be her first speaking engagement in Australia.
Promotional material for the event described Harris as “a trailblazer through her entire career, committed in her vision for ensuring all Americans can climb the ladder of economic opportunity, including bringing down the cost of living and making housing more affordable”.
She will join a “selection of esteemed international speakers and Australia’s leading real estate professionals set to impart their expertise, industry insights, and strategies for success in an ever evolving property sector”, according to organisers.
Organisers would not disclose how much the speakers would be paid.
