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 1-5.
Presented by Satisfyer, XBIZ Retreat’s summer edition will once again be hosted at the luxurious, stylish waterfront Mondrian Hotel, which is situated just minutes away from the center of South Beach and other Miami hotspots. As with all XBIZ Retreat events, attendees will have unlimited opportunities to land business deals while enjoying the lively, tropical city.
Fresh off the heels of the West Coast edition of XBIZ Retreat, which was held last month at the famed Andaz hotel on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California, former attendees are already clamoring for details, says XBIZ Associate Publisher Sara Ramirez.
“XBIZ Retreat Miami is the most anticipated adult retail event of the summer,” Ramirez said. “Regardless of whether it’s their first time attending or return participants, there’s no better place to be than Miami in the summer. Attendees bask in endless business opportunities while basking in the sun-kissed, colorful city.”
From singing karaoke with a live band to enjoying a day at the beach, XBIZ Retreat Miami offers plenty of entertainment for attendees to bond over. According to Ramirez, this year the event promises even more fun surprises in store.
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, the event brings together more than 100 participants for packed daily schedules featuring up to 14 one-on-one vendor-buyer meetings. The event 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.
“I think XBIZ puts on a singular show — there’s nothing like the intimacy of having all the meals together, seeing each other fresh in the morning, regroup at lunch and then the swagger at night,” Tantus’ Cheri Curry said. “The privacy of the suite gives us a chance to spread out and really identify customer needs and how to best support their growth. There isn’t any other event in this business like XBIZ Retreat. The amount of new business that we’re going to be closing at this show is staggering.”
“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.”
“It is a fantastic, well-organized show with a range of products available,” said Jon Davis, buying and merchandising manager of ABS Holdings. “It’s great to sit down and have meetings where we often only email due to time and distance restrictions.”
“The Retreat is a perfect balance between business and pleasure, giving every participant a great chance to learn about new trends and network with industry colleagues,” said Lenny Balshen, president and founder of WestMarket LLC. “Thanks a lot, XBIZ team!”
