AUSTIN — Pink Visual’s director of public relations, Quentin Boyer, is schedule to lead a discussion about the adult Internet industry at the South By Southwest (SXSW) Interactive festival on March 15.

As an extension of the long running SXSW music festival, the interactive portion of the event includes panel discussions and presentations from a wide variety of major technology and media companies, including a keynote address by Twitter CEO Evan Williams.

“It’s pretty cool to be included as a speaker alongside so many luminaries from the mainstream tech world,” Boyer said. “I see my role there to be to dispel some myths surrounding the industry, and to emphasize that although it’s undeniably tougher sledding in this sector than it was 10-12 years ago, there is still opportunity to make some serious money in the adult space.”

LAJ, YNOT.com's vice president, will also join the discussion with Boyer.

“SXSW is hands down the best time in Austin,” LAJ said. “What started out as a music festival over 20 years ago has since added a film and interactive festival and the amount of fun and business opportunities to be had is enormous. I’m stoked to be speaking with Quentin to what will be a group of informed and enlightened people.”

The discussion will cover a wide range of issues that face adult entrepreneurs in the Internet sector, from the basics of establishing a web presence to the legal risks of distributing adult content.
