LOS ANGELES — Aneros Director of Sales and Marketing Brent Aldon and Sliquid VP of Marketing Erik Vasquez will co-host the 2026 XBIZ Honors, set for Jan. 11 at Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles.
“As many know, I’m the ‘host with the mostest,’ and together we’re making sure everyone leaves absolutely mind-blown, buzzing with excitement, and filled with memories that will be talked about long after the curtain closes,” Aldon avows.
Vasquez said he immediately knew he and Aldon would be a perfect match as co-hosts for the pleasure industry’s biggest night.
“Our decade-long friendship — and friendly rivalry, some might say — will translate effortlessly on stage,” he said. “We could go back and forth about who’s the bigger diva, but let’s be honest — we all know the winner. Both of us are creative perfectionists with high standards, and our shared vision for this show will reflect that. Together, we’re the perfect duo to bring the glamour, elegance and pomp this ceremony deserves.”
With chemistry, showmanship and no shortage of confidence, Aldon and Vasquez are set to deliver a special night in an equally special venue.
The Avalon originally opened in 1927, the venue has lived many lives — from the El Capitan Theatre to “The Jerry Lewis Show” stage — and has hosted icons ranging from The Beatles to Beyoncé. Its elegance, dramatic stage and club-style energy create the ideal fusion of glamour and spectacle.
Serving as a special edition of the flagship XMAs, the annual XBIZ Honors spotlight outstanding achievements in the pleasure industry, recognizing career excellence and innovation in intimacy products.
XBIZ Honors will take place during XBIZ Expo, happening Jan. 8–12 in Hollywood.
