“As the virtual goods model has gained significant traction in the US, it is increasingly important to grow awareness of how this model affects the accounting framework of a business,” said Bobroff. “At the Digital Media Law Conference, I will present on the key concepts and practical implications of recognizing revenue from virtual item sales, which will provide attendees with actionable insights for their business.”
In addition to virtual goods revenue recognition, speakers will address a range of vital topics at the Digital Media Law Conference, such as intellectual property, digital music licensing and consumer privacy. New speakers will join the following panel discussions:
