XBIZ Conference and Awards Set for Largest Shows Featuring Industry A-Lists

LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is gearing up for its largest industry conference and most glamorous awards show yet, both featuring the adult industry’s A-list elite from all walks of the business.

The 2009 State of the Industry Conference, the first true assessment of what the future holds and what powers the pulse of adult entertainment, is slated for Feb. 10-12 in Woodland Hills, Calif., culminating with the 7th Annual XBIZ Awards Feb. 12.

  • LFP founder Larry Flynt will share his outlook on the future of adult entertainment during an exclusive Q&A-style interview.

XBIZ Research also will debut the official results of the first-ever adult entertainment market research study, offering statistical information on the top issues of concern impacting the adult entertainment industry.

Culminating the State of the Industry Conference will be the 7th Annual XBIZ Awards, held at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood, Calif. The industry’s biggest names will come together to honor outstanding individuals, companies, performers and products that play an essential part in the success and popularity of adult entertainment.
