LOS ANGELES — Svakom and Kaotik Labs have signed on as the Presenting Sponsors of the retail edition of the 2026 XBIZ Honors.
As Svakom spotlights the debut of its Kaotik Labs brand, both Presenting Sponsors will take top billing for the ceremony honoring elite industry professionals for their outstanding leadership with XBIZ Exec Award trophies, as well as XMAs-nominated brands in the Pleasure & Retail 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.”
January will mark the official industry debut of Kaotik, which Feynerol describes as blending "high-performance design with a bold, disruptive aesthetic that speaks to today’s consumers.”
“We’re incredibly excited to introduce a line that pushes boundaries not only in technology, but also in branding, creativity and user experience,” he enthused.
Feynerol also 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. The event is set for Jan. 11 at Avalon Hollywood and will take place during XBIZ Expo, which runs Jan. 8–12.
