PimpsPromo is coming back to the EU. I will be covering Webmaster Access in Amsterdam, NL; The European Summit in Prague, CZ and XBIZ EU in London, UK. While this will be my 5th visit to Amsterdam, this will be my first visit to Prague or London so I am looking forward to seeing these two venues.

Webmaster Access, Amsterdam will be held from September 16 through September 19. For the second straight year the show will be held at the Park Hotel. The adult webmaster B2B event will begin with the Dutch Webmaster Meeting, which starts at noon with a Meet Market and Speed Networking. You can visit their site to register and get more information. Highlights of the Webmaster Access show would include two speed networking sessions, a meet market and the XXX Smackdown: Stuart Lawley vs Tom Hymes panel. That should make for an interesting conversation. There will also be the 1st Annual GFY People’s Choice Awards, so that should be fun. Registration for Webmaster Access is currently €149.00, so order today.

Next up will be The European Summit which runs from September 20-23 at Hotel Praha in Prague, CZ. The European Summit was previously known as The Barcelona Summit, which I have attended on three occasions. If history has taught me anything, that is that Andreas and Walter put on a great show and do their best to ensure everyone’s needs are met. A quick look at their schedule shows that there is non-stop activity all day long without starting too early in the morning. YNOT will be continuing their Grand Prix Kart series and will have their first ever awards show. Seems like awards shows are getting popular. Registration for The European Summit is free for affiliates and €269 for company reps.

I will end my European tour with a new show put on XBIZ, XBIZ EU. XBIZ EU will be a three day event held at the Radisson Edwardian Bloomsbury in London, UK from September 23-25. XBIZ has a lot of experience putting on these shows, and they never fail to provide lots of business and educational opportunities. There will be speed networking and meet markets as well as the usual seminars and keynote speakers. In addition, there will be a debate between Diane Duke of the Free Speech Coalition and Stuart Lawley of ICM Registry about .XXX. You know this will be worth attending. Registration for XBIZ EU if free for affiliates and adult website owners that stay at the show hotel. All others it is €100 online or €200 at the door. (more…)

In light NALEM’s recent announcement that their adult industry trade show photos were being sponsored by ICM Registry and their .XXX sTLD, a press release came out on AVN that stated “only recognized photographers” would be allowed to take commercial photographs at the upcoming Dutch Webmaster Meeting, scheduled for September 16, 2011 in Amsterdam. The “recognized photographers” were JFK, with FUBAR Webmasters, and me, with PimpsPromo. The attitude is that many in the adult industry are against the .XXX sTLD and that party-goers would not feel comfortable having their photos taken then displayed on a website that supported .XXX.

It did not take long for a thread to appear on adult webmaster forum, GFY, and while this announcement seemed to be well-received, a little drama involving PimpsPromo did raise its head. The owner of the Thumblords tube site, ThumbLord, decided that he did not want me taking his photograph and that if I did he would have me “arrested before your plane leaves.” (more…)

I am happy to announce that MaxCash Sarah has decided to join PimpsPromo as a contributing photographer. Her first contribution is of the adult, B2B Internet marketing event, YNOT Summit 2011. Since I can not be everywhere at once, and I learned long ago that two photographers at the same event will frequently provide differing views of the same event, I welcome Sarah’s contributions with open arms.

These photos were taken Saturday and include some sights Sarah encountered on the way to the Holiday Inn as well as some from the Kink in the Castle event.
