XBIZ Publisher Tom Hymes to Deliver Keynote Address at Cybernet Expo

LOS ANGELES — XBIZ Publisher Tom Hymes will deliver the keynote address on the state of the industry at Cybernet Expo in Tampa Bay, Fla. on June 8.

An eight-year veteran of the adult industry, Hymes has served as editor of AVN Online magazine and Communications Director of the Free Speech Coalition before joining XBIZ as publisher last September.

"I was very surprised and more than a little honored when the fine folks at Cybernet Expo asked me to give a keynote address," Hymes told XBIZ. "It will, by the way, only be 30 minutes in length, because I would never impose myself upon anyone for longer than that. Suffice to say that as a direct result of my remarks either the net worth of everyone in the room will immediately increase by many thousands — or I will be pummeled to death on the spot by the audience. Either way, extreme value is guaranteed.

"On a more serious note, I am looking forward to talking about the many opportunities still available in this business, and also the obstacles we ourselves put in place that prevent us from achieving them."

The 10th annual Cybernet Expo, an annual trade show designed exclusively for webmasters, online marketers, talent, technology professionals and other business professionals in the adult Internet industry, will be held June 7-10 at the Hilton Westshore in Tampa Bay, Fla.
