MIAMI — XBIZ is pleased to announce that the popular all-inclusive, invite-only event for adult retail market leaders, XBIZ Retreat, will make its return to Miami this summer with official dates set for June 3-7.
Returning to its luxurious, stylish waterfront venue at the Mondrian Hotel, which is situated just minutes away from the center of South Beach and other Miami hotspots, XBIZ Retreat Miami will offer numerous opportunities to land business deals while enjoying the lively city.
Just last month, XBIZ Retreat hosted its latest West Coast edition at the famed Andaz hotel on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, Calif. Following the overwhelming success of the annual exclusive event, XBIZ Associate Publisher Sara Ramirez said that preliminary details for XBIZ Retreat Miami are now being announced due to overwhelming demand from interested participants.
“2019 is off to a successful start for many of those that kicked off the New Year at the ultra-exclusive XBIZ Retreat,” Ramirez said. “We’re thrilled that XBIZ Retreat Miami has established itself as a must-attend adult retail B2B event that draws more participants every year with anticipation that starts far in advance. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in Miami!
XBIZ Retreat allows top adult retail vendors and buyers to participate in one-on-one private meetings and networking activities, while enjoying a VIP experience that includes dinners and evening entertainment.
Every year, XBIZ Retreat Miami brings together more than 100 participants for packed daily schedules featuring up to 14 one-on-one vendor-buyer meetings.
The XBIZ Retreat has been lauded as the most stimulating, intimate and valuable business event, listing a “who’s who” of the industry’s most revered movers and shakers.
Past XBIZ Retreat participants have shared their fondness of the productivity of the event.
“The XBIZ Retreat is a wonderful and well-thought-out retreat for companies such as ours,” CB-X director of sales Michael Tullis said. “I have attended three over the last nine months and have enjoyed each one (Miami, Berlin and Los Angeles). It is truly the most efficient ways to see most of the serious buyers in the industry in a quick and professional manner. I don't need to cold-call and be a pest or bother, but rather I have their attention for an acceptable amount of time needed to present our products and story. For a niche product like ours, there just isn't a better way to present the product.”
“I love how going to XBIZ Retreat feels like a family reunion more than a business event, and yet it is more productive than any other regular trade show,” Lovense’s Joris Guisado said. “The quality of the relationships I have developed over the past few events makes The XBIZ Retreat my first B2B choice.”
“XBIZ Retreat is always a great event that provides us the environment to do business, make partners and friends with excellent organization, meetings and networking opportunities,” said Alejandra Preciado of Fantasias Boutique. “The venue, vendors and the activities were great.”
“The XBIZ Retreat is a very effective event,” Be Wicked!’s Marc Toretzky said. “To meet with buyers, managers, and executives from all over the world in a nice, intimate environment is a great way expand our product line and keep working hard at increasing business.”
“As a first-time attendee I was welcomed with open arms and every person I came into contact with was helpful, gracious, and most of all, an asset to my ability to do better business,” Self Serve’s Matie Fricker said. “The schedule was intense but manageable thanks to my needs being considered and cared for along the way. I’m leaving with better business relationships, big plans for the new year, ready to make some big orders, and connections to friends and community that make running a business in New Mexico a bit easier."
