The awards ceremony, slated for Feb. 8 at the Highlands in Hollywood, Calif., has hundreds of adult entertainment companies competing for the coveted XBIZ Award, which is awarded based on innovation and excellence within the industry. Award nominees are nominated by clients and colleagues and then judged by a panel of peers.

XBIZ Sales and Marketing Manager Kristen Kaye said she was pleased to have Epoch’s support for the awards show.

“Epoch’s tremendous support is a phenomenal boost to an already great lineup of sponsors,” Kaye said. “We’re very excited to have them on board.”

This year’s award show will take place in conjunction with the XBIZ Hollywood ’07 Conference at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, Calif., a next-gen industry conference featuring two days of networking, workshops, seminars and events.
