ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dell Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL - News):

WHAT:

  Dell will host a virtual panel discussion featuring entrepreneurs from Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United States. This discussion will focus on how SMBs are using technology to cut costs, increase efficiency, improve customer relations and grow.
 

WHY:

Today’s global credit crunch is hampering innovation opportunities for small business owners. With lenders going bankrupt, turning away loan seekers and scaling back small business lending initiatives, SMBs will look for other opportunities to innovate and technology will be a key driver.
 

The 2009 Dell Small Business Excellence Awards identified and awarded 130 small businesses worldwide that had leveraged technology in innovative ways to improve their customer experience and grow. As a leader in helping small businesses thrive, Dell is hosting a panel discussion with four of the national winners to provide entrepreneurs with strategies to win.

 

WHO:

-- Small-business owners looking to understand and give advice on how to drive innovation within their businesses via technology, including:

-- Danilo Barbosa, CEO of Way2Servicos De Tecnologia (Brazil)

-- Mark Graham, CEO of RIGHTSLEEVE (Canada)

-- Rodolfo Laddaga, CEO of U-TOUR (Mexico)

-- John Jordan, CEO of BusinesSuites (US)

-- Erik Dithmer, vice president and general manager of Dell SMB, Americas, will moderate the discussion. Before joining Dell in 1997, he founded and ran a medium business. Erik has his pulse on the SMB landscape and spends most of his time working with small and medium businesses to maximize their IT strategies.
 

WHEN:

Thursday, November 12, 2009
11 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Central; 12 noon to 12:45 p.m. EST
