Members of the adult Internet Industry are arriving in Tempe, AZ for the 2013 Phoenix Forum which is being held at the Tempe Mission Palms for the 9th consecutive year. While the adult webmaster event does not really start until Thursday, there was plenty happening for those that arrived early; including the annual golf tournament and the continuation of the YNOT Grand Prix.

Since I wanted to be here early Wednesday and I was driving in with goodgirl and the dogs, we left Tuesday and drove out to Palm Springs to get a jump on the drive. There are a few photos from our stop at Babe’s and a couple celebrities I ran into.

When we arrived in Tempe early on Wednesday afternoon it seemed rather slow at the Mission Palms, presumably because many were at the golf tournament, so we took the time to walk around Tempe a little, get some food and visit World of Beer. (more…)

It is that time of year again, the 14th Annual Phoenix Forum (TPF 2013) will be held April 4-7, 2013 at the Tempe Mission Palms Hotel, in Tempe, AZ. This is the 9th consecutive year that the adult industry B2B event has been held at the Tempe Mission Palms, and every time we return it is almost like coming home. The staff is always cordial and helpful and I think they like having us as much as we like being there. PimpsPromo will be attending and photographing this year’s event, and this time the photos will be sponsored by merchant service provider, Mobius Payments.

A quick look at The Phoenix Forum 2013 schedule of events shows that many of the events we have grown to love are returning. This would include the seminars and workshops along with the Hooter’s Happy Hour, speed networking and the sponsor meet market. Of course the break stations and lunches will also be happening. Juicy Dodge Ball is replacing naked dodge ball, so it will be interesting to see what changes happen there. Beer pong will be returning after a year or two off. For those arriving early, the X2K Golf Tournament and the YNOT Grand Prix will both be held on Wednesday, April 3. (more…)

These photos are from the final evening at the 2013 Internext Expo which includes the CEO Dinner sponsored by CommerceGate and AWE; and the Farewell Party held by AWE. It was an appropriate ending for a successful and productive show. Theo, Panos and the entire AVN staff should be congratulated for a job well done.

Personally, I would like to thank all the sponsors and attendees that came out and made it the success it was; especially MojoHost. Now, it is time to move on to AVN’s Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) and the AVN Awards. (more…)
