Tuesday, Sept. 3 is all about showing up, settling in — and getting a head start on having fun. The first scheduled event of XBIZ Amsterdam will be a tour of the famous Heineken brewery organized by Dan Leal of Immoral Productions and Sara Jay, returning after last year’s popular outing proved that there is no better way to start off a conference in Amsterdam than with free beer. The afternoon will also feature a Creators-Only Pub Crawl sponsored by F2F, during which creators will mix and mingle while experiencing some of the most iconic bars in the area. Event registration kicks off at 4 p.m., allowing early arrivals to pick up their all-access conference badges. That’s followed by XBIZ Amsterdam’s official Welcome Reception, sponsored by MobiusPay, serving up complimentary bubbly cocktails. The evening concludes with a party sponsored by AdultPrime, SecretFriends and SinfulXXX at The All Out Amsterdam, which promises to be the ideal spot for conference attendees celebrating their first night in Amsterdam.
Wednesday, Sept. 4 marks the first full day of conference programming. The day starts off with a complimentary continental breakfast for hotel guests. Event registration will be open all day, and scheduled events get underway mid-morning with the first round of perennially popular Speed Networking, sponsored by Vendo. Then a “Boot Camp” Model Welcome Reception, presented by BongaCams, will prepare creators to optimize their event experience.
From noon until 5 p.m. on both Wednesday and Thursday, all attendees are invited to stop by XBIZ Amsterdam’s all-new Company Hospitality Suites and Company Lounges, to connect with both up-and-coming and established brands. Special note for creators: Stop by Julmodels’ suite to pose for professional photos, which will be featured in a commemorative book.
With the conference program’s Creators/Talent track sponsored by Sex.com, and the Web/Tech and Content Production tracks by YourPaysitePartner, the afternoon sessions kick off with four noon options to choose from. “Camming Means Connecting: Mastering the Art of Engagement” will sharpen cammers’ skills so they can keep viewers returning for more and level up from cam model to cam star. Meanwhile, “Paysite Confidential: Scouting New Terrain” covers how to drive traffic, ride content trends and collab with talent to maximize engagement. “Content Is King: A Look at Production Trends in Europe” goes behind the scenes with studio heads, producers and directors for a look back at the past year’s content production scene and a glimpse at trends on the horizon. Finally, “Learn and Earn” is a Q&A with top Fancentro creators sharing their strategies for success.
Next on deck: a hands-on session for clip makers of all levels titled “Crafting Captivating Clips: A Practical Workshop for Creators.” Or stop by “Talent Platforms: Latest Trends in Cams, Clips and Premium Social” to get up to speed on the latest platform innovations and market insights. Attendees interested in promoting themselves on Sex.com and Spankbang.com should attend “Increase Your Fan Base and Income for Free!” while those considering dipping their toes into foot fetish will want to check out “Shoot Foot Fetish Content That Sells,” presented by FeetFix.
After lunch — or if you’re a creator, a stop at the Creators-Only Pizza Party suite hosted by Streamate — another round of seminars commences. Join top influencers for a look at “Strategies for Success on Premium Social Media,” or find out about “Maximizing Your Success on F2F.com” and glean essential tips, insider knowledge and strategies to boost success on the platform. Meanwhile, Sex Work CEO founder MelRose Michaels coaches creators on boosting their business in “Earning While Learning,” and if your head is spinning from too much new knowledge, join GigSocial for a Mimosa Hour in the company’s hospitality suite.
The last full round of sessions includes “Pineapple Support Presents: Championing Mental Health for Industry Professionals” as well as “AS Talent Agency Presents: Managing OnlyFans — Solo vs. Agencies.” Or take a break and mix it up at Hentaied’s TENTAI Gin Hour, before checking out “XBIZ Performers of the Year: 2024 Europa Edition,” where top performers discuss the standout projects that earned them XBIZ Europa Award nominations. The afternoon’s programming wraps with an XBIZ Talk featuring two-time Male Performer of the Year and industry mainstay Danny D sharing his experiences, milestones and acquired wisdom gleaned over the course of his 18-year career.
As evening descends, XBIZ Amsterdam attendees can enjoy networking time at the Mix & Meet Market + Happy Hour, sponsored by Segpay, before donning black attire for the much-anticipated Club Vixen party at AIR Amsterdam, hosted by Vixen Media Group and Julmodels.
Thursday, Sept. 5 dawns with another continental breakfast for hotel guests, and event registration for late arrivals. For those who missed Speed Networking on Wednesday — or simply couldn’t get enough of it — a second session awaits. Meanwhile, the Company Hospitality Suites and Company Lounges reopen at noon, as attendees gear up for a slate of afternoon sessions.
Those include the panel “When Talent Met Talent: Successful Collabs Are About More Than Chemistry,” which reveals key strategies for collaboration and cross-promotion; “Billing and Payment Processing Update” covering the latest regulations, compliance measures and trends; “Health & Safety 101: Essential Tips for Content Creators” offering tips on STIs, mental health, on-set best practices and collaboration safety; and “Streamfans Presents: Let’s Talk Content! Enhancing Creator Platforms Together,” an open discussion about content monetization features and tools.
The next round of panels rolls out with “Breaking Into Studio Work: A Guide for Indie Creators,” an update on “New UK Adult Content Regulations,” a session on “Consent, Paperwork and Testing for Content Share Shoots” and a deep dive into buying influencer promo effectively and building a robust subscriber base with “Mastering Promo Deals — Boosting Sales and Subscriptions,” presented by GigSocial.
The final round of regular panel programming is comprised of “Coming Together Across the Pond: Transatlantic Collabs,” a presentation from U.K. communications regulator Ofcom titled “Don't Get Caught in the Act! How to Comply With UK Laws” and the Vendo-sponsored session “Grow Your Business With Open Banking and Pay-by-Bank,” which will detail open banking and pay-by-bank methods, plus how to generate new revenue opportunities and improve payment efficiency. Or recover from all the learning and networking as GigSocial reprises its Mimosa Hour, followed by an encore of the TENTAI Gin Hour from Hentaied.
Of course, all of this leads up to the grand finale: the 2024 XBIZ Europa Awards, as well as the official after-party hosted by F2F, sure to send attendees off in traditional XBIZ style.
