XBIZ Summer ’06 Forum Registration Number Shatters Initial Estimates

LOS ANGELES — With less than two weeks left to go before the adult industry convenes at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas for the inaugural XBIZ Summer ’06 Forum, the company has reported that registration numbers for the event have far surpassed initial estimates.

The Summer ’06 Forum, the first Las Vegas-based boutique-style webmaster trade event of its kind, will feature a lineup of networking events and educational industry seminars, including breakout sessions where show attendees can address certain issues more informally.

For XBIZ Publisher Alec Helmy, seeing an overwhelming positive response from the industry toward his brainchild — a true educational and networking event — has been a source of pride.

"We've all been taken aback by the rapidly increasing number of show registrations,” Helmy said. “We did expect a solid turn out to our inaugural show, but never expected anything like this. We're thrilled to announce that just about everyone in the biz will be in attendance."

Scheduled from July 12-14 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, the Forum is tightly scheduled with seminars, a sponsored party list, poolside cabana networking parties, a very special dance-off, an open invitation to the Circle Bar and Viva Las Vegas Lounge every afternoon for food and drinks, an executive champagne brunch and a reception the first night of the event located at the north side of the pool, presented exclusively by XBIZ.

XBIZ has tapped industry leaders DHD Media, Xflix and CapitalBucks as corporate sponsors. PussyCash will be the registration sponsor.
