The Creators/Talent track features panel topics ranging from “Aspiring Talent: Your Name in Lights,” an exploration of how performers and creators can level up their careers in today’s landscape, to “Represent! Secrets of Industry Talent Agents,” where a panel of top agents discusses current trends in talent representation.
The Industry track offers sessions such as “Talent Platforms 2026: Trends Shaping Cams, Clips & Premium Social,” an overview of the latest features and marketing strategies of leading platforms; and “Legal Report 2026: Navigating Fresh Challenges,” which will examine recent legal and legislative developments and emerging issues impacting the industry.
Other sessions include “Adult Studio Alliance Presents: Safer Together,” in which founding members of the newly formed consortium detail their mission to elevate performer safety and best practices for production sets; “The Latest Trends and Advances in Age Verification Tech,” where AV providers will explain the latest developments and best practices so attendees can assess the compliance options best suited for their business; and “By the Numbers: A Data-Driven Look at the Creator Economy,” during which the industry veterans behind SWR Data's annual “State of the Creator” report provide insights to help creators and platforms grow their businesses.
This year, the flagship XBIZ conference has also added a new feature to the mix: Roundtable Chats. These 10-seat, 25-minute discussions, hosted by a curated mix of industry stakeholders, will be held throughout the day on Tuesday and Wednesday, offering a chance for intimate, focused discussion on topics that matter to industry players from all corners of the business.
This year’s XBIZ Talk session features famed talent agent Mark Spiegler, impresario of the Spiegler Girls agency. In a candid conversation with noted photographer and producer Holly Randall, Spiegler will share his work philosophy, insights he has acquired over decades in the business, and his take on the state of the industry right now.
In keeping with tradition, networking remains a staple of the conference, with several slated where attendees can maximize fruitful business interactions, including an all-new company lounge, along with speed networking sessions and evening mixers to close out each day.
Wednesday night culminates with the online industry edition of the 2026 XBIZ Honors. The ceremony will honor leaders whose business acumen and vision have driven brand success and fostered community, alongside the presentation of Digital Media award categories from the 2026 XMAs.
Thursday features the annual Free Speech Coalition summit, with panels running the gamut of legal and political issues facing the industry heading into an important mid-term election year. In addition, Pineapple Support hosts sessions on a variety of topics pertaining to the mental health and well-being of industry members.
Thursday night wraps up with the inaugural X3 All-Stars party, where the 2026 All-Stars join premier agencies and their talent roster for a high-energy pre-X3 Expo celebration taking over the Ballet Hollywood nightclub.
On Friday, X3 Expo kicks off at the historic Hollywood Palladium, giving attendees the chance to connect with top stars at dedicated booths and signing stations, alongside a refreshed slate of movie screenings, onstage special events, brand activations and live entertainment.
Finally, on Sunday night, the 2026 XMAs will once again light up the Palladium, with multi-award-winning superstars Violet Myers and Kazumi hosting the Adult Industry’s Biggest Night.®
