XBIZ 2017 to Examine State of Adult Virtual Reality

LOS ANGELES — Tackling what is arguably the next great frontier for adult entertainment, XBIZ has announced plans to host a special symposium dedicated to exploring the current state and emergence of cutting-edge VR technologies at January's XBIZ 2017.

The industry’s premier conference series returns to West Hollywood, Calif.’s luxurious Andaz hotel from Jan. 9-13, where it will deliver four action-packed days of unparalleled business opportunities, executive networking, in-depth learning and social events in an entirely exclusive setting.

The event series peaks on Thurs., Jan. 12, with the star-studded XBIZ Awards show, an annual red carpet extravaganza that honors best of the best from the industry.

The virtual reality symposium will offer an insider’s look at “The State of Adult VR,” featuring some of the industry’s most experienced experts, including Jean-Claude from Terpon, Anna Lee from HoloFilms, Fabian from AliceX, Ela Darling from CAM4VR, Michael from RubyVR, Daniel from VR Bangers and Claudio from ClickCastX.

“VR is the hottest topic in adult today and as the industry source for the latest in sex-tech information, XBIZ 2017 is the logical platform to examine this brave new world,” XBIZ Senior Technology Editor Stephen Yagielowicz explained. “Our panel of VR pros will reveal current trends in content production, as well as an analysis of consumer demand and the opportunities ahead. This is a must-attend event for anyone with their eye on the future of adult.”

The symposium is just one example how the annual conference series offers expert insights by uniting all industry segments to deliver the most comprehensive view of adult’s future, as well as its myriad other opportunities arising from the evolution of content creation and delivery technologies.

Offering a multitrack educational program, the XBIZ 2017 NETbilling-sponsored seminars and workshops will reveal the latest trends in just about every market segment with an emphasis on the cutting-edge of interactive entertainment, content delivery, mobile tech, and more, with a view towards the future that provides attendees with the knowledge and power to stay ahead of the curve.

In addition, exclusive keynote addresses, special sessions covering the state of key-market segments, as well as coproduced sessions by the FSC, APAC, Cybersocket, Grooby, Sssh.com, WIA and more, all offer additional value for knowledge-hungry industry members. Add in a myriad of networking mixers and special events and attendees’ playtime will become as productive as their work hours.

Affiliates and adult talent qualify for free admission, while XBIZ.net members receive discounted show registration.
