Megan Swartz, Adam Hasner to Co-Host Retail Edition of XBIZ Honors

LOS ANGELES — Adult retail personalities Megan Swartz and Adam Hasner have been named the hosts of next month’s XBIZ Honors awards ceremony set for Jan. 11 at the W Hotel in Hollywood.

The red-carpet event kicks off at 7:30 p.m., with the ceremony set to begin at 8:30 p.m., marking the grand in-person return of the annual gala.

Swartz is the director of purchasing for Deja Vu stores and has been with the company for nearly 20 years. She’s also no stranger to coveted XBIZ accolades as the winner of the 2021 "Progressive Leadership Award," and the 2017 "Community Figure of the Year."

In addition, her SPAM (Sex Professionals and Manufacturers) Facebook Group received a 2021 XBIZ  Award for "Retail Education/Training Program of the Year," and her creation, the Together Vibe, won "Couples Toy of the Year."

"We feel truly honored to be hosting the XBIZ Honors,” Swartz said. “I am super-pumped to be back in person for this year's show. Like many, we have all faced tremendous hurdles these last couple of years, and we hope to bring some fun and a lot of laughter to all in attendance. This event means so much to me. I love the recognition given to all the hard-working individuals in our community. We all know how hard we work personally, but knowing others see it also, is such a gratifying feeling. To me, the nomination is the win. You have made an impact on many people to even be in the running for an award. That is a huge accomplishment. Congratulations to all the nominees and see you all soon!"

Industry vet Adam Hasner began his dynamic career in DVD distribution before crossing over into pleasure products. In 2014, he was named “Businessman of the Year” at the inaugural retail edition of the XBIZ Exec Awards.

"It feels so great to finally be back in action and get to see everyone after so much time apart,” Hasner said. “Megan and I are ecstatic to be hosting this year. This is such an honor."

The two longtime friends will bring their chemistry and fun energy to the glitzy stage.

“Megan and Adam proved they have what it takes to command an audience with their engaging video presentations announcing the nominees for our last all-digital XBIZ Honors,” XBIZ Associate Publisher Sara Ramirez said. “Knowing how equally delightful they are in person, we’re so excited to see them host our long-awaited return to in-person events.”
