Lang will speak and provide mentoring at BlogHer's event developed in response to the recurring questions: "Where are the women in tech?" and "Where are all the women starting companies?"
PHILADELPHIA and SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 22, 2012 — AboutOne (http://www.AboutOne.com) today announced that CEO Joanne Lang will be speaking and serving as a mentor at the BlogHer Entrepreneurship Conference on March 22nd and 23rd. AboutOne is the premier family organizer that uses cloud technology to organize busy family lives, and Lang will be sharing her experiences at this event focused on business, entrepreneurism and technology.
Held in Santa Clara, California, BlogHer's intensive two-day conference will bring together over 50 industry experts and 100 women from all over the country for a series of panel sessions and individual mentorships. This is the second year for the conference, and when it launched last year BlogHer founder Lisa Stone said, "Our goal? To inspire more women to take the leap: To fill the proverbial pipelines … funding pipelines, management pipelines, boardroom pipelines, product roadmap pipelines … with more women-led initiatives in business, technology and media."
"I'm delighted about this opportunity to take part in the BlogHer Entrepreneurship Conference," says Lang. "AboutOne has partnered with Microsoft and Suze Orman (IDSafe) to release a new version of our web app, and we'll be launching a companion Windows Phone app this month, followed by Android and iPhone apps later this spring. BlogHer Entrepreneurs '12 is a great opportunity for me to share my experiences and lessons learned with other entrepreneurs."
BlogHer is a community and media company created in partnership with women in social media. Lisa Stone, Elisa Camahort Page and Jory Des Jardins founded BlogHer in 2005. BlogHer Entreprenuers is "designed for women who want to start something, whether their goal is to strike out on their own with a brilliant idea, or to bring an entrepreneurial approach to innovation within a company."
Lang has agreed to serve as mentor at this event, sharing her entrepreneurial experience, expertise, and advice with conference attendees who are the next generation of innovators and creators. Lang will also be speaking about Technology Trends and the App Economy with Alicia Navarro, CEO and Co-Founder of Skimlinks, and Ellen Pack, CEO of appSmitten, moderated by Stacy Morrison of BlogHer.com.
