In the U.S., the technology-enabled life is normative. The Silicon Valley boasts Google, Facebook, Twitter and Square revolutionizing the way we live. Sitcoms on TV incorporate social media jokes, actors say “just Google it” on the big screen.

Now imagine the rest of the world(not Hollywood, not industrialized societies) and think about the possibilities in emerging markets – these are geographical areas of business with rapidly growing, industrializing activity. How can technology in the next few years cause and support rapid change – for the better?

At the Women 2.0 Conference on February 14, we will be hosting several discussions on the role of technology in emerging markets and entrepreneurship. Based in San Francisco, we will be talking about innovation and technology to a larger scale – the emerging markets AKA “the next billion”.

Selina Tobaccowala, founder of Evite.com, will be talking about entering the emerging markets at SurveyMonkey (where she runs the engineering department), in a fireside chat with Kara Swisher, your Women 2.0 Conference host and AllThingsD founder.
