Professional Diversity Network, Inc. to Partner at Women’s Forum 2017 Global Meeting
August 18 2017 - 8:30AM
Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (NASDAQ:IPDN) (“PDN” or
the “Company”), a global developer and operator of online and
in-person networks that provides access to networking, training,
educational and employment opportunities for diverse professionals,
today announced that it is a partner with the Women’s Forum for the
Economy & Society (“Women’s Forum”) and that its President,
Star Jones, will be a featured speaker at the Women’s Forum 2017
Global Meeting (“WFGM event”).
Event Highlights
- The Women’s Forum is the world’s leading platform featuring
women’s voices on major social and economic issues
- Flagship WFGM event to be held October 5-6, 2017 in Paris, with
an anticipated 70 countries represented by over 1,500
delegates
The Company’s President, Star Jones, will be a featured speaker,
presenting workshops and participating in plenary sessions on
“Creating impact through women’s networks” and “How businesses can
be more ‘human’.”
The WFGM event is the premiere event of its kind, designed to
build bridges between generations – between young entrepreneurs,
for example, and role models – having as its theme Engage for
Impact! Daring to Lead in a Disrupted World.
The Company has agreed to partner with the Women’s Forum and is
a sponsor at the WFGM event. Management believes that this
relationship, on this global stage, is highly beneficial to its
membership in the NAPW (U.S.) and IAW (China) women’s paid
professional networking segments because it enhances the Company’s
brand recognition while contributing to the global discussion of
critical issues from women’s perspective, which combine to add to
the lifetime value of the Company’s paid networking
memberships.
Ms. Jones noted that “PDN’s participation at the Women’s Forum
Global Meeting is another example of our place in the global
conversation on women’s issues and commitment to our members. We
have previously disclosed our long-term plan to enhance the
lifetime value of our networking memberships, including those we
are now beginning to sell through our IAW segment in China. I
believe that this event dovetails perfectly with that plan because
it brings global attention to women’s issues, which grows awareness
of networking, while specifically spotlighting our brand within
that broader conversation. At the same time, it reinforces
what we do for women every day, including supporting our nearly 150
local chapters in the U.S., our eChapters, eCoaching, and the
like. I am very proud, once again, to showcase our company on
this prestigious, global stage.”
