After a late night out at Club Rain with Kink.com's Bound Gods, Buddy Profits, DickyDollars and NakedSword, attendees kicked off day one with a content selection seminar, followed by a huge lunch spread sponsored by Webair.

After several scheduled dinners, including Webair's Supper Club experience and The Elite Dinner, and a Red Light District Tour hosted by Python, attendees flocked to Marcanti Club where trance music and porn on the big-screen set the stage for a wild party, all thanks to PayServe, VXSBill and Freeones.

Saturday's Networking Power Hours took place alongside two business-focused seminars, one discussing attracting and making the most out of foreign traffic and the other outlining various ways to increase profit margins through cross-sells, upsells and other options.

After another Webair buffet, attendees did their own business offsite and headed to the docks where Private Media Group's canal boat cruise set off for an almost four-hour tour. The XBIZ Cocktail Reception took place soon after, where everyone convened to discuss the previous days' deals and what was on the agenda for the evening.

The Powerzone, one of the country's most popular clubs, was almost everyone's destination Saturday night, where hosts WorldSex, AskJolene and VideoBox set up a stellar networking and party atmosphere, separating the club into three "zones" — VIP Zone, a Comfort Zone and an outdoor Terrace Zone.

Surrounded by free-flowing drinks, flashing cameras and strobe lights, attendees celebrated the final night of Webmaster Access with a collection of world-famous Dutch DJs, including Erick E, Ricky Rivaro and Issie Star.

Early flights didn't deter anyone from staying out all night, and the next day the Radisson SAS lobby was filled with groggy but cheerful industry members making their way to the airport for home, or to continue their journey to Munich, Germany, where others will gather to celebrate Oktoberfest.

Next on the Webmaster Access roster will be the Los Angeles show, slated for Nov. 19-21, followed by the show's very first event to be held in Hawaii in both Maui and Kauai.
