The Phoenix Forum is one week away and if you have not already purchased your tickets, I recommend you do not delay any longer. The cost will only be higher if you wait and register at the Tempe Mission Palms; and trust me, if you are not registered, you will have a lot of trouble getting in. Their security is pretty adamant about making sure anyone in their doors has proper credentials.

The host hotel, Tempe Mission Palms, has been sold out for a while but if you watch adult webmaster forums like GFY.com or adult social media groups on Facebook you might find a last minute cancellation go up for grabs. If staying onsite is not mandatory for you, there are available options listed on the Phoenix Forum website.

The schedule of events has been updated and it looks like all the things that make The Phoenix Forum special will be back; seminars, speed networking, snack stations, beer pong, late night poker and naked dodge ball to name but a few.

It is shaping up to be another fun weekend of networking, sun and parties. PimpsPromo and our sponsors Mobius Payments and MojoHost all look forward to seeing you. Travel safe and I will see you in Tempe. (more…)

The Phoenix Forum will hold their 15th annual adult webmaster event March 27-29, 2014 at the Tempe Mission Palms Hotel, the 10th consecutive year that the hotel has hosted the event and PimpsPromo will be there again photographing all the activity. While the schedule has not yet been released, history has shown that it will be a nice mix of education, networking and lots of fun. Tempe’s weather probably plays no small part in attracting attendees as webmasters from around the world come to thaw out after their long harsh winters.

Online registration for The Phoenix Forum is $275 per attendee and the cost will only be higher if you register onsite, so do yourself a favor and register early. The host hotel has once again sold out, so if you have not secured a room yet you might want to visit The Phoenix Forum website for a list of alternative hotels that are close to the Tempe Mission Palms.

The photos from this year’s event will be sponsored by merchant services provider Mobius Payments and award winning web host, MojoHost.com. This should be another great event and I look forward to seeing many of you there.

Friday was day three of the adult entertainment industry’s B2B conference, XBIZ 360 which was held at the W Hollywood Hotel in Hollywood, CA. The day consisted of speed networking as well as seminars and workshops on such topics as mobile traffic, billing and the future of Google Glass and porn. As is pretty typical on the last day of a three day show and the morning after a party with an open bar, the attendance levels were the lowest that I had noticed in the time I was there. Between nursing hangovers and preparing for the 12th annual XBIZ Awards it was predictable that there would be fewer people participating.

The 12th annual XBIZ Awards was held at the Century Plaza Hotel and hosted by Jenna Jameson. At this time the winners are not available online but you can find a list of the nominees at http://xbizawards.xbiz.com/nominees.php. All in all, this was a very good show and probably larger than anyone suspected it would be. I look forward to seeing you at the 2015 XBIZ 360. (more…)
