XBIZ 2018 Show to Debut 'XBIZ Talks' Series

LOS ANGELES — “XBIZ Talks,” an all-new slate of educational sessions, will take centerstage at XBIZ 2018 in January.

XBIZ Talks spotlights the year’s foremost thought leaders conducting presentations covering a wide range of adult market segments, including online marketing, content production, interactive entertainment, virtual reality, law and more.

XBIZ 2018 returns to West Hollywood, Calif.,’s luxurious Andaz hotel from Jan. 15-19 to deliver a refreshed slate of business opportunities and exclusive special events, culminating on Thursday, Jan. 18, with the 2018 XBIZ Awards show.

XBIZ 2018 is being planned to provide views with clarity toward the future, offering attendees with the knowledge and power to profit in the coming year. Those views surely will be enhanced by XBIZ Talks.

“Come January, we will be spotlighting the very best minds in adult, be they company owners, executives or creative wizards, presenting their personal experiences, perspectives and predictions for the future,” XBIZ Publisher Alec Helmy said.

“Ultimately, our objective is to spark inspiration among our attendees by showcasing our industry’s foremost thought leaders, individuals who are at the forefront of the business, pushing the envelope and altering the landscape in adult,” Helmy said.

Slated as a series of 30- to 45-minute presentations, XBIZ Talks will be inclusive of just about every facet of adult, including sub-facets, such as design, marketing, leadership and more, with a goal of providing an unparalleled look at the various fronts driving (and being driven by) the industry today.

“XBIZ Talks will deliver targeted insights that focus on the needs of frontline industry operators as well as newcomer entrepreneurs, promoting discussions and bringing the highest level of education and experience to attendees,” XBIZ Marketing Director Leah Mahi said. “This is a tremendous opportunity for brand leaders to share their wealth of knowledge in a way that is accessible to players at every level, and is the newest evolution of adult business education — with XBIZ once again leading the way.”
