Deauville is getting ready to host the Women’s Forum, which will take place from Wednesday 10th to Friday 12th of October beneath the grey and rainy skies of Normandy. Despite these weather conditions, the live Orange blog is looking forward to visiting the Parisians’ very own Saint Tropez, to provide you with exclusive and up-to-date daily coverage of the event!
For this, the live Orange blog has assembled a great team made up of four very motivated women to attend the conference, and share with you their own personal experiences. You can find out a little more about each of them below.

Have you been to the Women’s Forum before? No, this will be my first time at the Women’s Forum.
What are you expecting from the Women’s Forum? It’s an opportunity to discuss and debate economic and social issues, and I’m looking forward to hearing the views of specialists with regards to the geopolitical outlook in China and Africa, as well as the increasing influence of women in the business world in 2012.
What will you be doing? Interviews, debates, workshops… I will be using the live Orange blog to share my views with you during these three days, which look set to be very interesting!
Do you ever manage to disconnect yourself entirely from the digital world, and if so, how? Yes. How? I simply turn my attention to something else.

Have you been to the Women’s Forum before? No, this will be my first time, thanks to Orange – I can’t wait!
What are you expecting from the Women’s Forum? It will be a chance to meet and discuss with key international players, which will lead to reflections on the changing position of women in our world. And just think, with so many influential men and women present, how much more equal our rights and opportunities will be in the future.
What will you be doing? I will be covering the debates, tweeting as much as possible, and interviewing the participants to hear their views. I will be blogging everything via the live Orange blog to share the highlights from the WF with you, and tell you about some of the women who are coming from all four corners of the globe to take part in the event.
Do you ever manage to disconnect yourself entirely from the digital world, and if so, how? Yes, when I have no battery left. It’s a drastic measure 
Alexandra Operto and Céline Louis: the live Orange blog team
Alexandra Operto
Alexandra Operto is social media project manager & Community Manager @Orange. She loves to travel and always tries to learn something. She is a TV and a TV shows addict, passionate about social media and a SocialTV enthusiat !
Have you been to the Women’s Forum before? Yes, I was there last year, where I ran face-to-face coaching sessions on e-reputation on the Orange stand.
What are you expecting from the Women’s Forum? I am hoping to learn more about the views of these innovative and motivated women through the workshops and debates taking place, But most of all, I’m looking forward to meeting new people. An event such as this is an opportunity to speak with professionals on a variety of subjects, and the theme of this forum is of great interest to me – how we can become more and more influential in this economy.
What will you be doing? This year, I will be running a coaching session entitled, “which social media to use and when?” at the Orange stand, alongside Aurore Braquenié, Community Manager of the Women’s Forum.
Do you ever manage to disconnect yourself entirely from the digital world, and if so, how? I use social networks daily as part of my job, and also on a personal level, and so for this reason, it can be difficult for me to disconnect. Even on vacation, I am posting photos on Instagram. At the same time, I try as much as possible to avoid responding to anything to do with work and talking about any work-related subjects. My need to connect to the digital world on vacation is not the same as when I am at work.

Céline Louis: that’s me!
