LOS ANGELES — Svakom and Kaotik Labs have signed on as the Presenting Sponsors of the retail edition of the 2026 XBIZ Honors.
As Presenting Sponsors, Svakom spotlights the debut of its Kaotik Labs brand, as they both taking top billing for the ceremony that will see elite industry professionals being honored for their outstanding leadership with XBIZ Exec Award trophies, alongside the nominated companies and brands of XMA retail and pleasure product categories.
“Events like XBIZ Honors play a crucial role in strengthening our industry’s ecosystem,” said Alex Feynerol, Svakom/Kaotik’s Sales Director for North and Latin America. “They celebrate the people behind the progress — the innovators, the retailers, the creators, the teams who move the industry forward every day. For Svakom and Kaotik, supporting XBIZ Honors is about showing up for our community, recognizing excellence, and contributing to an environment where passion and creativity can thrive.”
Feynerol describes Kaotik as blending high-performance engineering with bold, disruptive design.
“It was born from a desire to merge high-performance design with a bold, disruptive aesthetic that speaks to today’s consumers,” he adds. “January will mark Kaotik’s official industry debut, and we’re incredibly excited to introduce a line that pushes boundaries not only in technology, but also in branding, creativity and user experience.”
Feynerol noted that Svakom is entering the new year with a sharpened focus on expanded product ecosystems and strategic collaboration with creators, retailers and distributors.
“We’re focused on expanding our interactive technology, refining our design language, and creating long-term value for our partners,” Feynerol said. “For us, 2026 is about growth built on authenticity, innovation and strategic alignment.”
This year’s XBIZ Honors ceremony will be co-hosted by Aneros Director of Sales and Marketing Brent Aldon and Sliquid VP of Marketing Erik Vasquez. XBIZ Honors is set for Jan. 11 at Avalon Hollywood and will take place during XBIZ Expo, happening Jan. 8–12.
