Dell Connects with Customers at Shanghai World Expo on Importance of Technology to Help Transform Work and Life

SHANGHAI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The 2010 World Expo spotlights the challenges and opportunities of the changing global landscape. As the official computer sponsor for the USA National Pavilion, Dell is showcasing how technology is enhancing the ways people and organizations live and work.

With more than 5 million visitors to date, the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai is uniting people from around the world to exchange ideas about the importance of environmentally conscious urban development and the economic opportunity of investing in emerging markets. Beyond providing computing hardware to help power the pavilion experience, Dell is hosting several events in Shanghai during the Expo that highlight the importance of perseverance, innovation, and the role technology plays in current and future communities.

On June 20-22, Dell, Intel and Bloomberg Link are jointly sponsoring The Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network. This event helps connect women in the business world to create and nurture a peer group of some of the world's most interesting and innovative female entrepreneurs, establishing a network to exchange ideas on how IT helps drive successful businesses.

"In 2009, the proportion of female entrepreneurs in China increased to 27 percent, while the male proportion decreased [1]," said Amit Midha, Dell President, Greater China and South Asia. "Following the financial crisis, businesses can significantly benefit from sharing their experiences and hearing from colleagues in similar situations. By hosting this event at the World Expo, we are able to provide a forum where female business owners can connect with peers from around the world."

With the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network, Dell is bringing the Take Your Own Path (TYOP) campaign to the next level and developing even deeper relationships with customers and driving inspiring conversations around top industry topics. This one-of-a-kind, two-day event concentrates on Taking Your Own Path Through Global Tech Strategies, celebrating the impact that women-owned businesses have on the economy.

Additional Dell hosted World Expo events at the USA Pavilion include:

    --  On June 9, Dell executives and business IT leaders will meet with a
        group of customers for the Efficient Enterprise CIO Summit. At the
        summit, discussions will focus on solutions for the virtual era, cloud
        technologies and how to unleash the power of the efficient enterprise.
