January is typically a pretty busy month for the adult B2B trade show circuit, and January 2012 will be more of the same. XBIZ has moved XBIZ LA and the XBIZ Awards up a month, and they will now be held from January 9-12, 2012. The XBIZ LA show is back at the Sofitel in Hollywood and the 10th Annual XBIZ Awards will be held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

The XBIZ LA schedule looks like there are plenty of educational and networking activities available and PimpsPromo will be there for most of it.

Monday will have the XBIZ LA Golf Tournament and the 12th Annual Cybersocket Web Awards. The Cybersocket Web Awards are always a good time. On Tuesday the show gets started with Speed Networking, then a workshop by Brad Gosse.I am going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably the one session will not want to miss. Brad had a Traffic Master Class last year that was extremely informative for webmasters and program owners alike. This year’s topic is Monetizing Promotional Content, and I look forward to listening and learning. (more…)

I guess it was Tuesday, the second day of XBIZ LA 2011, that I was talking to Andrew of Vsex.com. He asked me how the show was for me. I started talking about how much business was getting done, how good the seminars were, how everyone seemed to be there for business instead of a party. He stopped me, laughing, suggesting that I was giving a promo for the show. In a way I was, because I always start writing these reviews in my head long before I actually type them out and this show really had a lot to talk about.

XBIZ LA 2011 was a three day, B2B trade show for the online adult entertainment industry. Held at the Sofitel, in Hollywood, CA XBIZ LA included seminars, demonstrations, speed networking and a Mix & Meet Marketplace. In addition to the Internet based trade show, the 9th Annual XBIZ Awards was held along with a new event, XBIZ Retail 2011.

The Seminars

I know I have mentioned it before, but it seems that show organizers are concentrating more on providing an educational format to these B2B events, and it appears that show attendees are responding in a positive manner. It seems that the seminars are not only well attended, but the information provided at even one seminar justifies the price of a pass. A great example of this was the Traffic Master Class held by Brad Gosse. As I looked around the room, I noticed that it was packed with n00bs and veterans alike. I read comments by people on various webmaster boards afterward, and it seems that those in attendance that put Brad’s recommendations to work were already seeing positive results.
