"When Alec told me that XBIZ was going to push this show to a ‘New Height’ Fleshlight was elated to sign on,” Fleshlight COO Brian Shubin said. “What XBIZ is doing with this show is very classy, very sexy and it promotes a lifestyle, not just porn. We at Fleshlight are huge proponents of this direction as it represents the industry in a fashion we can truly back. We are proud to align ourselves with XBIZ and are happy to have our name pasted next to XBIZ in every forum leading up to what will be an amazing event in January."
The star-studded 2013 XBIZ Awards show, presented by Fleshlight and hosted by the incomparable adult film superstar Tera Patrick, will be the climax to the XBIZ 360° six-part series of grand-slam trade events. The red-carpet gala will honor movers and shakers across more than 150 award categories — spotlighting the year's best in Adult Film, Digital Media, Pleasure Products and Retail market segments.
From Jan. 9-12, XBIZ 360° will take attendees on a 360-degree journey into the heart of the industry to decode its future and ignite commerce across every sector of the adult industry, including digital media, adult film production, pleasure products and adult retail.
“No single event hosts the entire industry like the XBIZ Awards show does and no single company engages all sectors of the industry like Fleshlight does. What we have here is a match made in heaven,” XBIZ President Alec Helmy said. “Fleshlight is the industry’s quintessential icon of cutting-edge — and the ultimate brand to present the 2013 XBIZ Awards’ vision of reaching a new height.”
Set to feature an elite group of industry icons, fearless trailblazers and creative visionaries, the XBIZ 360° lineup of A-list special guests will anchor the forward-thinking agenda, serving attendees tactical insight into the underlying dynamics and future direction of the industry.
