Cybersocket to Host Gay Business Seminar at XBIZ 2017

LOS ANGELES — XBIZ 2017 is pleased to announce the return of its annual Gay Business Seminar, organized by leading gay adult media company Cybersocket.

Presented by Camgasm, XBIZ 2017 unites all segments of the adult industry to deliver a comprehensive view of its future and the opportunities arising from new content creation and delivery technologies.

Hosted by Cybersocket co-founder Morgan Sommer, panelists set for the Gay Business Seminar include Loli Cam from Terpon, Karl Edwards from XXXEdit, CCBill’s Gary Jackson, Tim Valenti of Naked Sword and Falcon Studios Group, plus Supermen.com consultant Douglas Richter.

Sommer told XBIZ that for 2017, he assembled a panel of industry leaders who have unique perspectives on how to build a gay adult internet business — and how to grow that business in challenging times.

“How do you maintain a competitive edge when the internet is saturated with gay porn, tube sites have changed the landscape, and consumers are less willing than ever to pay for adult content?” Sommer asks, noting, “Some people and companies are doing just that.”

Sommer says that the gay market is unique in some ways, and the panel will talk about these qualities.

“This is more than a state of the gay industry discussion,” Sommer concludes. “It will be a discussion of ideas for thriving.”

Offering a multitrack educational program, XBIZ 2017’s NETbilling-sponsored seminars and workshops will examine the latest trends impacting the adult industry, with an emphasis on the cutting-edge of interactive entertainment, digital media delivery, mobile tech and more. Taking a view towards the future, these sessions provide attendees with the knowledge they will need to stay ahead of the curve.

Additionally, exclusive keynote addresses, special sessions covering the state of key market segments, as well as co-produced sessions by the Free Speech Coalition, the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee, Grooby, Sssh.com and more, offer value for knowledge-hungry industry members. Add the networking mixers and special socials, and every attendee will find good reason to be part of XBIZ 2017.

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