We'll be getting started in just a few moments with Sonali Shetty's discussion on digital branding with the Virginia International Business Council. While folks make their way into the ballroom at Richmond's Jefferson Hotel, why don't I provide some context for today's discussion.

11:52

The Virginia International Business Council was formerly known as the Richmond Export Import Club. Today, the organization represents international trade professionals in the Richmond area -- organizations and individuals engaged in business with both a relationship in Richmond, Virginia, and overseas. The organization was founded in 1948, and today has several hundred members.

Today's speaker is Sonali Shetty, co-founder of Compleo Apps, a social media consulting and technology application development firm based in Richmond.

Sonali's background with international businesses like Radio Shack and KMPG, along with her background in software and management consulting, makes her the perfect speaker for this group of international business leaders who are trying to make sense of the buzz around social media and emerging technology solutions.
