Epoch, Hustler, Gamma Join Forces for XBIZ EU Networking Special Event

LOS ANGELES — Epoch, Hustler and Gamma have joined forces to sponsor a networking special event at a traditional English pub in London on Sept. 23 for registered attendees of the highly anticipated XBIZ EU international digital media conference.

Scheduled on the evening of day one of XBIZ EU on Friday, September 23 from 6-10 p.m., at the Carpenters Arms pub in London, the event will include food, drinks and a private setting for all registered attendees to mingle and make deals.

“We want to thank XBIZ for organizing their first E.U. event,” said Harmik Gharapetian, Epoch’s vice president of sales and marketing. “To help promote this event, and make it a success for all attendees, Epoch along with Hustler and Gamma have come together to put the ultimate networking event together. We wanted to make it fun, relaxing and relevant to our local settings. We decided to do a private event in a classic English pub setting to allow the attendees to move around and mingle and meet as many people as possible. This event is a must-attend; make sure you put it on your schedule.”

Hustler/LFP President Michael Klein, who is among XBIZ EU’s special guest speakers, says the event pays homage to local culture.

“In honor of the inaugural XBIZ EU event, we are happy to be teaming with Epoch and Gamma to bring a fun evening of true London culture,” Klein said. “Nothing says London than a great pub with good ale and some fish and chips and other local treats.”

Joel Drapeau, also is participating in XBIZ EU as a guest speaker, and echoes Klein’s sentiments.

"This event will have all the perfect ingredients of networking," said Joel Drapeau of Gamma Entertainment. "A perfect location that will allow great networking; it is open to all attendees to make sure everyone gets the most business done with the people at the show and some great local food and drinks — all this in a traditional London atmosphere. You will not want to miss out on this XBIZ EU networking event."

From Sept. 23-25, XBIZ EU will bring together industry executives from international markets at London’s Radisson Edwardian Bloomsbury hotel, for a slate of unparalleled business-networking and deal-making opportunities.
