Yeung Attracts High Number of Women Entrepreneurs: #biztech

Go Edith Yeung, the founder and organizer of BizTechDay events, now in New York, Seattle and more recently San Francisco. She attracts a higher than normal number of women entrepreneurs -- attendees and speakers -- and does high touch things like "here's your buddy, go find them on-site" as a way to not only engage attendees but give them a creative and fun call-to-action that will encourage participation and networking with people you otherwise may not have met.

We heard from Squidoo's Megan Casey, Gymboree's Joan Barnes, Kiva's Jessica Jackley, Sue Kwon from CBS, SmallBizTrend's Anita Campbell and Facebook Era's Clara Shih. Also check out 25 amazing women entrepreneurs you should make an effort to meet. Below taken at the San Francisco event by Michael O'Donnell.
