LOS ANGELES — XBIZ is pleased to announce that pre-noms are now open for the 2020 XBIZ Europa Awards, the adult industry’s biggest awards event in Europe, which is set for a worldwide broadcast on Oct. 22 via streaming network XBIZ.tv as the climactic finale to the first-ever virtual edition XBIZ Berlin conference.
