Firm’s Oscar Rivera to Lead Workshop Focusing on Unconscious Bias at ICSC Shopping Center Law Conference

The firm’s Oscar R. Rivera will co-lead a workshop titled “I Think That? Unconscious Bias: How to Spot It and Become an Inclusive Leader” at the International Council of Shopping Centers annual US Shopping Center Law Conference.

The event, which is taking place Oct. 24-27 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Fla., provides retail real estate legal professionals the opportunity to gain industry-specific knowledge and insight from leading authorities.  Attendees will be able to network with more than 1,500 industry peers at the conference, which offers presentations in four different formats with interaction strongly encouraged between panelists and attendees.

Together with his co-presenters, Oscar will help lead the session discussing biases that are automatically triggered and generate quick judgments about people and situations based on one’s background, cultural environment and experiences.  He will review a number of studies and statistics about the prevalence of unconscious biases in the real estate industry, and the presentation will conclude with helpful action plans and resources to identify and eliminate them in the workplace.
