Cybersocket Media Sponsor of Island Gathering

LOS ANGELES — Cybersocket has announced that it will be this year’s media sponsor for the 8th Annual Island Gathering, to take place Oct. 17-20.

Held in Curacao and hosted by Epoch and 123Resourcing, Island Gathering, like most conventions, will feature scantily clad women everywhere; however, this event is distinct because its focus is on fostering meaningful business relationships —no booths, convention halls or photographers are present.

“We feel that Island Gathering is the single most effective and enjoyable event of the year,” Cybersocket President Morgan Sommer said. “It's certainly part vacation and part work. Relaxing with our colleagues in this setting is conducive to building great friendships and business relationships.”

Another one of Island Gathering’s unique characteristics is the fusion of the industry’s gay and straight communities. Overarching business trends and strategies are often independent of factors such as race, creed or sexual orientation..

Cybersocket produces the nation’s largest freely distributed gay magazine, with a circulation of 70,000 issues per month.

If you plan on attending this year’s Island Gathering, please register soon at IslandGathering.com .

A limited amount of sponsorship packages are still available. If interested in becoming a sponsor, email dana@mailme123.com .
