Photos from Saturday at XBIZ Summit 2011

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

These pics are from Saturday at the adult b-to-b trade show known as XBIZ Summit 2011. Saturday morning seemed to get off to a slow start, so I suspect there may have been a little too much partying going on Friday evening. Later in the day, the seminars began, covering dating and the adult mobile market. The show itself ended with a new feature they called the 3-Minute Show-offs. This enabled presenters to give a three minute pitch of their products or services. This was very well received with a standing room only audience.

Photos from Friday at XBIZ Summit 2011

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

The adult webmaster, B2B trade show, XBIZ Summit kicked off Friday at the Sofitel in Chicago, IL. The day started with Speed Networking, and several seminars covering such topics as social networking, live cams, profiting from paysites and the changing face of online adult content.

I will admit, I was not expecting much from this new show as Chicago has never provided much at any trade shows I have attended here. XBIZ has shattered my low expectations in one short day.

YNOT Summit: last minute discounts

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

As I announced a few weeks ago, PimpsPromo will be attending the upcoming YNOT Summit 2011, to be held June 23 – 25, 2011 in San Francisco. If you have yet to purchase your passes for the show or made your hotel reservations, this reminder is targeted towards you.

First off, the show passes are currently $179.99. If you use the discount code of “FCX” (minus the quotation marks) you will save $45. I am not sure how long they are going to keep this code active, so once again, I urge you to get your passes as soon as possible. At the door, the price will be $249.99 and no discounts will be available. Unlike prior years, you will not be able to get into any of the off site parties and events without a show pass. The Smash Up Derby opening party and Kink in the Castle are two events to not be missed, so get your passes.

Secondly, room rates are probably going up. YNOT Summit arranged for room rates of $149/per night provided you made your reservations by June 1, 2011. I screwed up and waited until today to make my reservations. Instead of using the online reservations, I called the Holiday Inn reservation line at (800) 972-3124, and they accepted the group code of “CYN” to get the discounted rate. I do not know if it would have worked online or not, but their website indicated the rate would have likely been $190/night. To be safe, I would suggest calling and do it immediately as I do not know how long they will honor it. (more…)
