Fortune Magazine chose ten emerging female entrepreneurs to join the annual Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit September 14-16, 2009.

The ten women joined 400 of the countrys most prominent women leaders in business, philanthropy, government, education and the arts for the series of panel discussions, on-stage interviews and interactive sessions over the course of three days in Aviara, California.

This new program targets entrepreneurial women who are game changers, ground-breakers and innovators in their fields.

American Express OPEN is the Founding Partner of Fortunes Most Powerful Women in Small Business Initiative. Fortune and American Express OPEN honored the 10 winners at a special reception at the summit.

The Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit is the premiere gathering of its kind, bringing together the countrys top women in business. The 2009 theme was Betting on the Future—ideas about the key challenges—technological, geopolitical, and social—that are reshaping our organizations and our world. The program was built around five pillars: Leadership, Innovation, Finance and the Economy, Global Connections, and The Common Good.
