Members of the Vir2o leadership team will join HotSauce the evening of February 19 for an official Social Media Week Lagos event, titled Online Marketing for Smart Entrepreneurs, to be hosted by one of Nigeria's leading social media enthusiasts, Deola Kayode. Vir2o will be there to contribute to the discussion as subject matter experts on the future of social media in emerging markets while also registering attendees for the Vir2o beta launch and Live Tweeting.
