Epoch to Kick Off 2015 as XBIZ 360 Diamond Sponsor

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Internet payment service provider Epoch has announced its Diamond Sponsorship of the upcoming XBIZ 360 Digital Media Conference.

Company officials said that the payment company sees the XBIZ 360 conference series as an opportunity for its team to show how the Epoch brand not only offers safe options but profitable as well. Epoch is forecasting a banner year in 2015 with new products and services and an expanding presence globally.

"We at Epoch are very excited to start 2015 with a huge bang at the great XBIZ show here in our own backyard in Los Angeles," said Harmik Gharapetian, Epoch's vice president of sales and marketing. "We are happy to teaming up with XBIZ, which organizes a great show and platform to allow us to show everyone in the industry how they can protect their business and interests by using a safe option like Epoch and, most importantly, allowing them to make more money.

Gharapetian noted that Epoch, based in Santa Monica, Calif., also will be sponsoring September's XBIZ EU show in London.

"XBIZ founder and Publisher Alec Helmy and his entire team do a great job every year organizing these shows, and we are looking forward for a huge and successful year in 2015, and we like to get anyone on the Epoch train to enjoy the success."

Set to be the largest industrywide gathering of the new year, XBIZ 360, which hosted more than 2,000 attendees last January, will once again be closed to the public and occupy the entire property of the Andaz Hotel for seven separate events specifically tailored to explore the future of Digital Media, Movie Production, Pleasure Products and Retail sectors of the adult industry.

XBIZ 360 is known for its cutting-edge, individually tailored seminars and panel discussions and innumerable networking opportunities with business leaders from all over the world and from all segments of the business. 

XBIZ 360’s unique format is designed to unify the industry with overlapping schedules and several intermixed special events to maximize business opportunities.

Among the many highly anticipated special events being held during XBIZ 360 are the 2015 XBIZ Executive Awards which honor outstanding career achievement in a variety of prominent career fields within the adult industry.

The series of events culminate with the star-studded 2015 XBIZ Awards show, presented by Fleshlight and hosted by James Deen at the JW Marriott LA Live in downtown Los Angeles on Jan 15.
