Because of the repressive censorship in the UK, the XBIZ London show is moving to XBIZ Berlin.

That's good news for Americans as well, as the Euro is more favorable than the GBP.

That makes three European cities for the September shows: Berlin, Amsterdam, Prague. Although, AMS, TXL, PRG would be the better sequence for airport connections. Or, CDG Paris, AMS, PRG! French men are hot.


It is with heavy heart that we announce our departure from London for our annual European show, which takes place every September.
Back in 2011, we chose London for a number of reasons, from its prime geographic location for international travel to its reputation as a world-class city full of great attractions, not to mention UK is one of our top countries here on XBIZ.net in terms of member demographics. For these and other good reasons, we felt London was the right destination at the time.
However, we didn’t foresee just how unfriendly UK would become toward adult. From ATVOD (previous content police) fining adult webmasters for “non-compliance” and scaring many out of business to radical feminists picketing our venues and local media’s negative tone toward adult, the climate became more and more difficult as each year passed. And now with OFCOM (equivalent of FTC) taking full charge of content regulation, the general consensus is that things are going to get even bleaker.
As much as we’ve felt a sense of duty to empower the UK industry by returning each year, it’s become too unwise for us to continue doing so.
So, we’re packing up and relocating the conference to another one of Europe’s top destinations for both business and pleasure, Berlin.
We are excited for several reasons. To start, Germany is adult friendly. Some of the biggest, most successful adult companies are based there as well as thousands of adult webmasters/affiliates. In fact, one could argue that Germany is THE capital of online adult in Europe.
Also worth highlighting is Berlin’s geographic location, which is adjacent to Eastern Europe, making our conference more accessible than ever before to the many webmasters who reside in those regions, as well as its reputation for being one of the most affordable cities in Europe.
All in all, you can expect us to deliver our best European show to date come September, with greater relevancy than ever before, taking full advantage of everything Berlin has to offer.
If your company would like to be part of the show, get in touch with us as we’ve already begun working on elements and partnerships.
If you are making travel plans, we ask that you arrange to arrive in Berlin on Sept. 12 and depart Sept 15. As always, affiliates get free registration and others a discount.
If you are UK-based and disappointed to receive this news and wish to corral local players to take on where we’ve left off, let us know how we may be able to help as we have a genuine interest in seeing your community prevail.
