If you're working in the adult industry it's quite a must to visit the XBIZ 360. It's a B2B event packed with seminars, discussion panels and networking opportunities.
This years event was held in the very stylish W Hotel Hollywood. Right in front of the doors one could find the many stars of Hollywood's "Walk Of Fame". Inside though it was time for business: Digital Media, Adult Film, Pleasure Products and Adult Retail were the main conference topics. For example one could listen to the very inspiring Keynote speech by New Sensations founder Scott Taylor. Those more interested in porn stars could hear from James Deen, Asa Akira or Christy Mack how they life their porn lives. Talks about traffic generation, how to sell novelties or the porn laws in the US were as well attracting a broad audience.
One evening the FSC (Free Speech Coalition) gave away their awards for remarkable achievments. The other night webcam giant Live Jasmin hosted a party on the hotels roof. The perfect preparation for the main big party, the XBIZ Award show the day after.
