Karen Orford to Attend the 50 For the Future Advance Leadership Summit

Advance, a leading global network of Australians and alumni abroad will host its annual thought Women Leadership Summit, themed '50 for the Future', which will be held at the Sydney Opera House on March 7 and 8, 2011, coinciding with the 100th Anniversary of International Women's Day.

The Summit will highlight the achievements of some remarkable women, and introduce 50 currently emerging leaders in the Asia Pacific. This event builds on the success of previous summits and also celebrates and explores the ways women contribute to the development of business, social innovation, commercialization, and culture in the region.

One incredible woman that has been chosen and has been warmly invited to the event is Karen Orford. A mother of two from Brisbane, she ventured to a new business, putting her house and $300,000 at stake. At 40, she launched ekidnaworld.com, a kids virtual world designed to bring kids on a fun, cool and smart yet safe Internet gaming community.

She came up with the idea after her two daughters, 7 and 9 years old, reached an age at which they were itching to chat online but Orford couldn't find a site that she was comfortable would be safe enough, hence eKidnaworld.com.

A superwoman, Orford manages the site virtually on her own. That is aside from having a "regular" job, being a mom, attending to a sick mother and a husband.

"My office is a laptop at the kitchen bench and my hours are post everything. I generally start around 9pm and work until my eyes fall out, or I suddenly remember that I need to produce a Red Ridinghood costume by 8am."

Now tell me that's not a superwoman!

Today, eKidnaworld is becoming a rising site with thousands of registered members and growing!

With this success, a truly empowered and influential woman herself, Karen Orford is on the running to be one of Advance's Leading 50 Women" which will be chosen among 200 attendees during the said event.

Attending the 50 FOR THE FUTURE - ADVANCE WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP SUMMIT, Orford will surely motivate others and inspire women who are interested in both personal and professional growth, optimizing their career choices now and in the future.
