June 22, 2007 at Stanford University
The Virtual Goods Summit is a one day conference focused on the emerging market opportunity for virtual goods and economies. Once restricted to the world of online gaming, virtual goods and currencies are beginning to influence the development of social networks, community sites, and many other new and exciting markets.

This year's conference will bring together leading entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, technologists, and industry participants to spend the day discussing the present and future of this exciting new space. We encourage you to join us at this year's event and participate in what promises to be a lively conversation. Our goal is to provide a forum to dive into interesting issues, such as:

» How will virtual goods and virtual currencies impact social networking?
» Are virtual goods the next big business model?
» What does it take to successfully launch a virtual goods offering?
» Are virtual goods poised to go mainstream?
» What does it take to nurture and develop a successful virtual economy?
» Why are users embracing virtual goods?
