cruel to be kind

I am very much looking forward to DLD Women in Munich this week, especially since I will be blogging from there, together with Valeria and Romy.

As with any major event nowadays, the list of attendees and speakers twittering and sharing pictures from the event is big and it is a bit hard to add people during the event so I like to put together twitter lists with a bit of the available information.You can find the bios of their twitter accounts below. Usually I do only list english speaking accounts but I thought this time, what the heck. ;)

The lists are based on the two lists put together by  @DLDWomen:

• DLDwomen Conference 11 speakers
• DLDwomen Conference 11 participants and speakers

You can follow the lists directly from your twitter account and many applications allow to filter on just a list – this comes in handy. If you rather like a normal search, then this is the right thing for you: Twitter search for dldwomen OR dldwoman (the latter just in case)

And us three will be live blogging from DLD Women:

Nicole Simon – twitter – web
Romy Mlinzk – twitter – web
Valerie – twitter

We will greatly appreciate if you do a lot of twittering from the event as it will make our live much easier ;)  I asked my dear colleagues to tell a bit about them, and this is what they answered:

Valerie currently shares her time between Vienna and Berlin. She is writing her master thesis on digital branding at UdK Berlin and HS St.Gallen.Valerie is very enthusiastic about branding in the digital world. She works at Saffron Brand Consultants on the launch of an Austrian telecom brand. She is inspired by modern art, snowboarding and socializing (in the real and virtual world). Due to winning the Green-Card she wants to switch sides of the Atlantic very soon!

Romy is a Social Media Manager and Consultant at the German communication agency achtung! at Hamburg. She is never offline and really enjoys to discover new things through the internet. After studying Chemistry she decided to turn her passion into a job. For her work-life-balance she loves to listen to good music, going to concerts and making

 

Sounds like I am in good company ;)
