Digital Hollywood Trade Show Begins Monday

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Top executives from the mainstream and adult entertainment industries will meet next week at the Digital Hollywood trade conference in Santa Monica.

The three-day conference will include seminars from numerous industry sectors, including video-on-demand, high-definition TV, mobile, DVD, games, broadband, home networking and digital rights media, as well as marketing and advertising.

The event also includes one seminar of particular interest to those who want to understand how the adult industry pushes technology to mainstream.

VS Media’s Greg Clayman, Playboy’s Katie Smith, Homegrown Video’s Spike Goldberg, Wicked Pictures’ Joy King and AVN’s Aly Drummond will discuss adult industry business models in a panel moderated by the Free Speech Coalition’s Tom Hymes.

It is the second time that Digital Hollywood has devoted an entire meeting to the adult industry, which has been at the forefront of technological- and business-model innovation. The adult seminar will focus on content optimization across multiple platforms, up-and-cross-sell strategies, traffic generation and content management.

Digital Hollywood trade show takes place from Sept. 19-21 at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. The adult seminar is slated for 2:15 p.m.-3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 21.
