This year’s edition of XBIZ Berlin will offer an expanded slate of scheduled seminars, events and activities Sunday through Tuesday, including the inaugural XBIZ Europa Awards, hosted by industry icon Rocco Siffredi, on Tuesday evening.
Get ready for a round of speed networking at 10:30 a.m. on Monday after a hearty complimentary breakfast buffet from 9-10 a.m. in the hotel’s restaurant. Speed networking, initially introduced by XBIZ to industry shows, offers rapid-fire introductory and business building interviews with an international crowd of established and newbie industry players.
After a complimentary noon luncheon buffet on Monday, the education begins in several conference rooms at the Catalonia Berlin Mitte Hotel.
Starting at 1 p.m., seminars titled, “Hot Content: Cashin’ In on Current Trends,” “Paysites 2018: The Euro Equation” and “Adult Production Today” will reveal comprehensive strategies to get ahead in the coming year.
Also starting at 1 p.m., performers will be able to get a boost from a dedicated track offering targeted sessions on social media marketing and developing profitable revenue streams, along with revealing today’s top tips for global branding.
Both conference rooms will break down the wall for the “State of the Industry 2018: Euro Edition,” which begins at 4 p.m. The seminar brings together a half-dozen industry experts who offer their takes on where certain segments of the industry are headed.
After a busy day of learning, XBIZ Berlin attendees can unwind Monday evening at the “Mix & Meet Happy Hour,” starting at 6 p.m., where complimentary cocktails can whet your appetite for the “Sausage Fest Social,” where local beer and bratwurst rule.
Later Monday evening, at 9:45 p.m., attendees can journey on to the Märkischer Platz and set sail during the “XBIZ Berlin Boat Bash,” which runs through the heart of the city.
On Tuesday, wake up and again head over to the hotel’s restaurant for a complimentary breakfast buffet between 9-10 a.m. before XBIZ Berlin’s two-track educational conference begins.
One track, starting at 11 a.m., will offer seminars titled “Billing Europe: A Localized Approach,” “AVSecure: Age Verification Update,” “Cams: Making Money From Interactive Entertainment.”
On another track, performers will be offered seminars, starting at 1 p.m., on cam-model competition and maintaining a healthy work-and-life balance.
At 2 p.m. on Tuesday, the conference room walls will break down for “Performers of the Year,” which focuses on what it takes to engage audience and stand out from the rest. And at 3 p.m., don’t miss the “Visionary Keynote” address from Gregory Dorcel of the famed Marc Dorcel brand.
Just as the sun starts setting on Tuesday, head over to the hotel bar for the “Pre-Awards Happy Hour” between 4-6 p.m. to loosen up before the conference’s newest event — the XBIZ Europa Awards.
Prepare to be thrilled as the inaugural XBIZ Europa Awards brings the most prestigious recognition to the European adult industry at the Meistersaal, an historic concert hall near Potsdamer Platz.
