XBIZ Hollywood concludes its 2009 educational program with
an ambitious two-hour, multi-panel seminar that examines the
critical issues facing the industry today. These are the important
topics that impact all of us and which no industry professional
can ignore. Over two one-hour segments separated by an intermission,
select panels made up of top industry leaders will address
the discussion points below. Happy Hour will follow immediately!
- 'Tube' Sites
We begin with the elephant in the room, the proliferation
(and opportunism) of adult tube sites, which some people
insist are evolving into an acceptable business model.
- Beyond Traditional Content and
Delivery
The days of ‘Content is King’ are
over forever — or are they? Maybe we’re on
the cusp of a revolution in adult content and the way
in which affiliate markets promote it online.
- What’s Next?
Our peerless panelists will get down and specific
about what they see coming down the pike in the foreseeable
future, and what they’re doing now to prepare for
it. After all, tomorrow’s foundation is always being
laid today.
- The Customer is King
We take as a given that the consumer, as distinct
from “traffic,” is king. It’s his world
now. Are you giving the consumer what s/he wants, or are
you still fighting the last war? This could be the most
important question you ever ask of yourself and your business!
