Monday is the official start of adult B2B event, XBIZ LA 2011, so naturally people are beginning to arrive. Some came early for the Content Protection Retreat which was produced and presented by Pink Visual. Others worked their way over to the Saddle Ranch Chop House for some food, drink and networking. We stopped by for a while and I grabbed a few photos. It was a good showing. I expect to see a lot of people at the show.

Tomorrow is the Cybersocket Web Awards, so be sure to contact them if you want to get in.

It has been confirmed that PimpsPromo will be attending and covering the 11th Annual Cybersocket Web Awards, which will be held Monday, February 7 in West Hollywood. The Cybersocket Awards show is the only one of its kind, presenting awards to the best gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) websites. The event will be held at the Factory, located at 652 North La Peer Drive, in West Hollywood, CA.

One thing that sets the Cybersocket Awards apart from other awards shows is that there are both “Surfer Choice” categories and “Industry Choice” categories. This ensures that not only the GLBT websites are honored, but the companies that make it possible for these sites to exist are also rewarded.

The Industry Choice Awards categories are Affiliate Program, Alternative Billing Company, Billing Company, Business Person of the Year, Company of the Year, Content Provider, Hosting Company, Industry Magazine, Live Cam, Video Company, Webmaster Community and White Label.

The Surfer’s Choice Awards categories are Amateur Video Site, Amateur Webcam, Asian Theme Site, Black Theme Site, Escort Site, European Theme Site, Fetish Site, Free Site, Hookup Site, Latin Theme Site, Live Cam, Massage Site, Mega Site, Mobile Site, Movie of the Year, New Site, Novelties Site, Original Content, Original Theme Site, Personality, Porn Blog, Porn Star, Reality Site, Video Company, VOD Site and Voyeur Site.

The Cybersocket Awards are free and open to the public to attend. Industry people are encouraged to RSVP to make sure they can get in. The show starts at 9:00 PM, with the red carpet starting at 8:30 PM. For more details. please visit http://www.cybersocketwebawards.com/.

I attended the Cybersocket Awards last year and had a great time. Anyone that has attended any industry events knows that when it comes to throwing a great party, Cybersocket knows what they are doing.

I was trying to remember the last time I attended AVN’s Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE). It must have been six or seven years ago. It was back when AEE and Internext were held at the same time. I remember wanting to get out of the AEE fan show as quickly as possible because it was so crowded. This year, AEE was broken up into a trade show and the fan show. While they did overlap their dates a little, it seemed that it was a lot less crowded. Since it had been so long since the last time I attended AEE I will not bother doing comparisons to previous years, as the economy is a lot different now, so it would be like comparing apples to oranges.

The AEE show was held January 6-9 with Internext overlapping it slightly, being held January 8-10.

The Venue

AVN moved the Internext B2B show back over to the Venetian Sands Expo Center which was the same location as the AEE fan and trade shows. It has been a few years since I went into the Venetian, and while it seemed like it was a longer walk back in the day, for some reason the walk did not seem that far this time. I guess those daily walks with the dog paid off. (more…)
