Winfrey will be meeting with none other than Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, Demand Media’s Richard Rosenblatt and LinkedIn’s Jeff Weiner at an event to be held at the home of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, considered the most powerful woman in Silicon Valley as reported byThe New York Post. Executives from Winfrey’s TV production company, Harpo, and publishing house Hearst, which publishes Oprah’s magazine will also be in attendance.
