The traveling XBIZ roadshow continued its journey from Chicago, IL in June to London, UK in September, with their first [that I recall] European show, XBIZ EU 2011. The adult B2B event was billed as being held September 23-25, but the only thing going on the 25th was the double-decker bus tour. There were two days of the actual show.
This was my first visit to London, so I was unaware that I needed to arrive at the airport a good 12 hours before my first appointment. Unbelievable. Gatwick has to be the slowest airport I have ever been through. Combine that with the distance factor, and suffice it to say I missed the speed networking and lunch the first day. By the time I arrived at the venue hotel, the Radisson Edwardian Bloomsbury, the seminars had begun. (more…)

The Phoenix Forum 2012 will be held from March 29 through April 1, and PimpsPromo will be there again. This is the 13th annual forum and for the 8th consecutive year it is being held at the Tempe Mission Palms in Tempe, AZ. The Phoenix Forum is one of the few remaining B2B adult webmaster events that seems to attract a large number of affiliates as opposed to primarily program owners and those catering to them, so naturally it is one of the more fun webmaster shows. It does not hurt that Arizona is usually very nice that time of year, so people from all those cold places come flocking to see old friends and make new business. The pool area makes for some great networking and people watching.
Registration for the 2012 Phoenix Forum is currently $275 per person and will be $350 at the door. They have packages set up for those of you that want to bring talent, so I suggest you check out their site for more details. The Tempe Mission Palms always sells out fast, so if you have not gotten a room yet, I previously provided a list of nearby hotels with a map. (more…)

The 2012 European Summit is around the corner and PimpsPromo will be there for one of Europe’s biggest B2B conferences for the adult entertainment industry. The spring edition of the European Summit will be held March 5-8, 2012 in Barcelona, Spain at the Hotel Miramar. I have not been to this particular venue, but if history is any indicator, you can be sure it will be spacious and luxurious. Unfortunately, there are no more rooms at the host hotel, but there are plenty of alternate hotels nearby.
I have attended several of the summits put on by Andreas and Walter so I had a good idea that the show would be packed with events, both for education and networking, and the upcoming schedule proves this summit will be more of the same. From the YNOT Karting Grand Prix on Monday to the tapas and wine tasting on Thursday there will be non-stop opportunities to learn, network and sight-see. It promises to be a great show, they always are. For more information, visit TheEuropeanSummit.com. You should register today as it is €279 per person if you register online prior to March 1. After that the price goes up to €350. Affiliates can register for free until February 29. You will have to pay if you wait, so do it now. (more…)
