vgs-logo2The 3rd annual Virtual Goods Summit is rapidly approaching on Friday, October 30, at the Westin Market Street in San Francisco. The 2009 edition of the event will bring together thought leaders in the space to talk about what’s changed, what’s working, and the key challenges facing the industry.

The Virtual Goods Summit is hosted by Charles Hudson, my co-author on the soon to be released Inside Virtual Goods: The US Virtual Goods Market 2009-2010 research report. Charles and I will be speaking on trends in the US virtual goods market that morning.

The conference will feature a mix of talks and panel discussions, and the lineup includes a bevy of thought leaders from top social game developers, monetization service providers, and social networks. The full roster is below. In addition, this year’s edition of the event will include a full-day “Virtual Goods Summit University” on October 29th.
