A veteran of the adult industry and the guiding force behind Jameson’s career as one of the most successful actresses in adult entertainment, Grdina will deliver his keynote on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 4 p.m. in the seminar room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
The topic of Grdina’s keynote will focus on production responsibility and trends, successor technologies and delivery systems, and how to successfully market a brand, a star and a styled line.
“I am really excited to be a keynote speaker this year with XBIZ,” Grdina said. “This could mean trouble, since I get to ramble on about anything with a no holds barred approach.”
Grdina, who uses the stage name Justin Sterling, founded ClubJenna with Jameson in 2000. He has produced, directed and written numerous award-winning ClubJenna films, including “Brianna Loves Jenna,” and “The Masseuse.”
Grdina and Jameson sold ClubJenna to Playboy in June for an estimated $17 million. The deal reportedly included websites, DVDs titles, film production assets and retail distribution.
“It’s a terrific honor to have Jay keynote for us this year,” XBIZ Publisher Tom Hymes said. “Jay’s success with ClubJenna speaks volumes for his business acumen and his proven skill at developing, marketing and driving a successful brand to the outer limits of success. There is no doubt he will have a great deal of interesting information to share with all of us at February’s upcoming XBIZ event.”
