Is Saying Assalamu Alaikum in Professional Settings Okay?

I enjoy connecting with fellow Muslims on professional networking sites and at gatherings even more than with others, but I've been wondering whether it's professional to greet them with Assalamu Alaikum. I think it might make them feel at ease since we share the same faith. Also, my name and how I look don't really suggest I'm Muslim, so I'd like them to know that I am a brother/sister in Islam.

Bruh just say it. I do it all the time at conferences, instantly breaks the ice. People appreciate the sincerity, and it's a quick way to spot a brother in a sea of suits.

I get the hesitation but honestly, any Muslim who hears it will smile. And for those who don't know it, it's a beautiful dawah moment. Win-win.
