October 03 2017 - 8:26AM
Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (NASDAQ:IPDN) (“PDN” or the
“Company”), a global developer and operator of online and in-person
networks that provide access to networking, training, educational
and employment opportunities for diverse individuals, today
announced that the Company will launch its IAW brand globally at
the Woman’s Forum Global Meeting being held this week on October
5-6 in Paris.
Professional Diversity Network President and
featured speaker Star Jones, along with Co-Chairman James Song,
will bring with her one of the largest country delegations outside
of European countries with approximately 20 delegates from China in
attendance.
Event Highlights:
- The Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society is the world’s
leading platform featuring women’s voices on major social and
economic issues
- The 2017 Women’s Forum Global Meeting will be held October 5-6,
2017 in Paris, with an anticipated 70 countries represented by over
2,000 delegates
- IPDN President, Star Jones, will be a featured speaker,
presenting a workshop with other leaders from across the globe
on “Creating impact through women’s networks” and leading one
of the premiere plenary sessions on “How businesses can be
more ‘human’.”
The Women’s Forum Global Meeting 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 Daring to lead in a disrupted world. Engage for
impact!
Ms. Jones commented, “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.”

an exclusive forum focused on entrepreneurialism in Beijing, China
at the Qiuhua Resort.
The event will be headlined by Bruce Aust, Vice
Chairman of Nasdaq and hosted by PDN President Star Jones. The
event is expected to be the Company’s highest attended event,
potentially drawing as many as 5,000 paid participants, setting the
stage for the Company’s 2018 growth plans.
