XBIZ is the most widely read trade media outlet serving the adult entertainment business, with a web property at xbiz.com supplemented by two monthly print-style trade publications (XBIZ World for digital media, XBIZ Premiere for retail) and a professional networking platform at xbiz.net. The organization also produces the industry's most prominent annual trade events - the XBIZ Show in January, XBIZ Miami in May, and XBIZ Amsterdam in September - which together function as the central deal-making calendar for adult B2B.

For operators, XBIZ functions as both a news source and an intelligence feed. Coverage spans traffic, affiliate programs, regulation, payment processing, cam platforms, content distribution, and production - essentially every commercial vertical relevant to running an adult web business. The XBiz Awards (XMAs) also carry genuine industry-signaling weight, making coverage and wins meaningful for vendors and studios promoting to operator clients.

xbiz.net is the less-discussed but operationally useful side of the business: a B2B social network where professionals maintain profiles, list services, and make initial connections that then move to direct channels. For any adult web operator building their professional network from scratch, creating an XBIZ presence is a standard starting point.
