FSC Summit Event Schedule Announced

FSC Summit Event Schedule Announced

LOS ANGELES — Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has revealed its slate of networking events and symposiums for its annual summit, set for January 15 during XBIZ 2026.

The event will feature new topics, updated formats, and expanded opportunities for members to connect.

The day kicks off with a members-only morning session featuring coffee, pastries, and bagels.

Next is the “Taking Back the Narrative” panel — a conversation about redefining how the public talks about porn, sex work, and our community. Activists, media strategists, and sex workers will share both big-picture thinking and real-world tactics for shifting narratives, countering stigma, and using media for advocacy.

The “Five Essentials of Age Verification in 2026” session distills the most important things you need to know right now — from the myths driving legislation to the hidden risks and emerging tools that could reshape the landscape.

In “Setting the Industry’s Agenda for 2026,” the FSC Board will take you behind the scenes on how it’s preparing for the challenges ahead. You’ll hear what’s on the horizon, what trends are shaping priorities, and how FSC is planning strategically to protect the industry and strengthen its long-term future.

In “A Deep Dive into Federal Policy,” FSC will close the day with a straight-talking look at Washington. A national age-verification mandate, financial discrimination bans, efforts to criminalize adult content — the headlines can feel chaotic. The session will unpack what’s happening behind the scenes in D.C. and what the industry should expect in 2026.

A post-summit happy hour will wrap up the day.
