The TYOP Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network was intended to be an elite gathering of female CEOs and innovative leaders
who run businesses in the world’s top markets and are on the verge of breaking through to the next level.
This was invite-only and intentionally capped at 75 participants to allow for meaningful dialogue and networking. Speakers
included Elaine Chang of Intel China, Kay Koplovitz of USA Network, Geraldine Laybourne of Oxygen Media, Cindy Gallop of
IfWeRanTheWorld, Maria Pinelli of Ernst & Young, Sabine Irrgang of GoFresh.com, Belinda Parmor of Lady Geek, Yue-Sai
Kan, Chairman of L’Oreal China, Michelle Garnaut of M on the Bund, Chris Shipley of Guidewire Group, and Debra Ruh of
TecAccess, Brenda Foster, president of The American Chamber of Commerce Shanghai and Beatrice Camp, US Consul
General.
Social media played a huge part in developing a tailored agenda and we used linkedin.com build excitement for the event
before meeting in Shanghai and then ran all sessions over linkedin.com which we will soon turn into a virtual white paper.

26. Dell has pulled in more than $6.5 million in revenue from its Twitter
accounts.
That's only a fraction of the more than $60 billion Dell made in revenue last
year, but it proves that the micro-blogging social network can be a
moneymaking machine -- even though it has a relatively small user base.
Twitter's user base can't compete with that of Facebook, which was at 350
million at the last count, but the 18 million-strong Twitter community is
looking like a more lucrative market for companies such as Dell.
