The Phoenix Forum 2010 is a few days away, and this year attendees can experience a couple of new aspects of the three-day event. For the first time, special “visionary” sessions will be held featuring prominent members of the industry being interviewed by one of their peers in a relaxed, studio-style setting. Two such sessions are scheduled, both taking place on Friday, April 9 in Palm Room F at the Tempe Mission Palms.

Visionary Session #1:
11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., Alec Helmy, XBIZ

This TPF Visionary track offers a spotlight interview with Alec Helmy, president of XBIZ, founder of ASACP, and several highly successful online ventures. Alec entered the adult entertainment industry at the dawn of the Internet, and today his focus is the XBIZ suite of media products, which includes two monthly trade journals, XBIZ World and XBIZ Premiere, several business-to-business and business-to-consumer Web portals, and three annual trade events, XBIZ Summer Forum, XBIZ LA Conference and the XBIZ Awards. Johnny V, long time contributor in adult, and owner of Click Truth will join Alec as a special guest interviewer.

Visionary Session #2:
1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., Steven Scarborough, Hot House Entertainment

This TPF Visionary track offers a spotlight interview with Steven Scarborough, president and director at Hot House Entertainment.

Tim Valenti, co-Founder and CEO of NakedSword will join Steven as a special guest interviewer.
