2018 XBIZ Awards to Light Up JW Marriott Thursday Night

LOS ANGELES — XBIZ will welcome red-carpet arrivals for the industry awards event of the year, the 2018 XBIZ Awards, presented by MyFreeCams, on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the JW Marriott hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

The ceremony will begin promptly at 8:30 p.m., and doors to the event’s ballroom will be closed at that time, so a timely arrival is strongly recommended.

A formal dress code will be strictly enforced.

Valet parking is located at 1015 S. Georgia St. (West Road) — located between Georgia Street and L.A. Live Way. (Find the “Pre-Pay” valet parking table in the Platinum foyer outside of the event to receive a discounted rate.)

The XBIZ Awards honors top achievements across every segment of the industry during the past year.

Adult superstar Jessica Drake will be master of ceremonies for the annual gala, which is followed by the official XBIZ Awards After Party.

The ceremony coincides with the industry’s top trade events series, the 2018 XBIZ Show, presented by ManyVids, which has taken over the entire property of the Andaz hotel in West Hollywood this week for an unprecedented lineup of events dedicated to exploring the future of digital adult entertainment, movie production, pleasure products and retail.

XBIZ Awards will be held at the JW Marriott Los Angeles on Thursday night. JW Marriott is located at 900 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles 90015.
