Monday, May 15 is “arrivals day,” when XBIZ Miami attendees check in to the hotel and get an early start by picking up their all-access badges. Those seeking a relaxing start can join Women in Adult for “Paint & Sip,” where models and execs are invited to get creative in a drink-and-stroke gathering.

As evening descends, attendees can raise a glass in a welcome toast at the XBIZ.net Kick-Off Happy Hour, then activate friendships and build connections at HeartSpace, a therapist-led hour presented by Streamate, mixing discussion with live group exercises.

Finally, cap off the evening with XBIZ Miami’s perennially popular White Party, the dazzling opening to the summer’s most anticipated event.

Tuesday, May 16, the first full day of the conference, attendees can ride the previous evening’s wave of good vibes right into a Speed Networking session, making fresh connections amid the tropical breeze poolside.

Midday, things get going with XBIZ Miami Boot Camp, a creator welcome reception that offers an informal orientation on getting the most out of XBIZ Miami. Also catering to talent is the Creators/Models Lounge, open throughout the show so that creators and models can take breaks, grab snacks and hang out casually in between hectic happenings.

The same idyllic environment will be the scene for XBIZ Miami’s Company Bungalow hotel suites, which premiered last year and offer everything from impromptu meetups with company reps to product demos and photo shoots. Meanwhile, company-sponsored Poolside Cabanas provide yet another fun way to network while getting to know both established and up-and-coming players.

Panel sessions hit the ground running with “Camming Means Connecting,” an informative workshop to help creators hone both technical and personal skills to keep fans coming back for more. Alternatively, find out how creators and paysite players are joining forces to tap into the resurgence of “one-stop shops” for creators and producers in “The Indie Paysite Renaissance.” Meanwhile, LoyalFans presents “The Creator’s Toolkit,” highlighting site features and sharing tips on monetizing content on the platform.

The next round of panels includes “The Art of the Clip,” a practical “how-to” workshop to help clip makers catch up on the latest tools, trends and opportunities; “Talent Services: Leveling Up Your Business,” showcasing talent-centric businesses that offer solutions for website creation, content management, payment processing, marketing and more; and “10 Revenue-Boosting Tactics Every Streamer Should Know,” presented by ePlay, featuring effective strategies for maximizing earning potential and growing a streaming business.

Ready for round three? “Talent and the Law: Legal Issues for Content Creators” will help you maintain proper documentation, comply with payment regulations and understand various other issues facing creators. “Talent Platforms: Cams, Clips & Premium Social” enlists a panel of platform experts discussing innovative features, current market trends — and how all that can translate into fresh opportunities. Or come meet Fansly staff and creators, and learn tips and tricks to help you succeed on the platform, at “The Official Fansly Quick Start Guide.”

The next set of workshops includes “Premium Social Media Strategies That Work,” where social media stars who have mastered the art of monetization share their insights on everything from custom clips to feeds and chat; “How to Advocate for Yourself on Set,” a Pineapple Support session discussing boundaries and expectations, challenging people-pleasing behaviors, facing social fears and more; and “Blossm.com Presents: Growing with Promotional Marketing,” a look at the ins and outs of promotional marketing, including insider tips and best practices from industry experts.

Keynote addresses are always a highlight of XBIZ shows, and this year’s summer edition delivers with award-winning star and serial entrepreneur Dani Daniels. Hear about her journey to world fame, her diverse ventures from branded coffee to energy bars and undergarments, her SFW podcasts and Amazon Prime show, as well as her approach to balancing myriad projects with a vibrant personal life.

Attendees can also take advantage of late-afternoon sessions held in Bungalow Suites, such as “How to Go Viral on Various Platforms” with cam model Emily Jones discussing strategies for scoring higher visibility; popular male performers “Porno” Dan Leal and Isiah Maxwell sharing transatlantic advice for creators in “Creating Content: USA vs. Europe”; the Cupcake Girls taking on sex trafficking while providing guidance to sex workers in “Fight Sex Trafficking ??— From a Sex Worker’s Perspective”; and “Finding a SWer-Affirming Therapist 101,” in which therapist and Grooby exec Kristel Penn will discuss talent rights, expectations and finding a therapist who understands sex workers’ concerns.

The rest of the evening is all about poolside fun, with XBIZ Miami’s wildly popular, super-sexy all-gender Swimsuit Contest, followed by Neon Nightswim, an all-new neon-themed pool party that promises to light up the night.

Wednesday, May 17, the second full day of the conference, features another round of informative panels and company workshop sessions. Plus, the poolside schmoozefest continues with another day of meetings and meetups at the Company Bungalows and Poolside Cabanas.

The morning gets going with XBIZ.net‘s “Creator Icebreakers” meetup, a hangout where everyone — from conference newbies to folks traveling alone to experienced attendees looking to network — can make connections, get comfortable and gear up for a productive day. Then it’s another round of Speed Networking, as well as the don’t-miss session “Content Collaborations: How to Do It Right,” featuring industry attorney Corey Silverstein and star creator Mary Moody covering both the practical and legal aspects of collaborating.

At midday, the regular slate of panels gets underway with “Shoutout: Collaboration and Cross-Promotion Between Talent,” exploring how creators can promote one another and leverage their networks to boost their brands; a 2023 Legal Update featuring legal experts discussing age verification laws, attempts to revive obscenity prosecutions and what industry players need to know to operate safely; and “An Intimate Conversation with Pornhub” during which company team members will cover recent happenings, fresh revenue opportunities, platform safety — and how to succeed as a PornHub creator.

Next up is a trio of diverse panels. In “Your Name in Lights: An Indie Creator’s Guide to Studio Work,” get the inside scoop on transitioning from cams, clips or social media to studio work, from performers who know the territory. Get up to speed on the latest billing and payment regulations, trends and issues in “Money Talks: Payment Processing in 2023.” Or get briefed on influencer marketing, legal compliance, building a brand in an authentic, impactful way and protecting yourself in business, as influencer lawyer Ronnie Bitman and social media marketing expert Julia Navan explain “The Laws of Attraction.”

Attendees who enjoyed the morning’s “Creator Icebreakers” sessions should check out the sequel: XBIZ.net‘s “Creator Networking” meetup, where you can engage with fellow creators to laugh, share experiences, glean tips, build valuable professional connections and forge lasting friendships. Meanwhile, “Show Me the Data” is all about analyzing content creation numbers and using that information to formulate strategies for growth,

The second keynote speaker to grace XBIZ Miami this year, power creator Siri Dahl, will discuss how she paved a path of high-performance stardom shooting for studios like Adult Time, for whom she is a brand ambassador, while getting her geeky cosplay on for fans and championing sex worker rights — as well as her recent appearance in the Netflix documentary “Money Shot: The Pornhub Story.”

XBIZ Miami’s roster of panels closes out with “In the Thick of It: The Big & Beautiful Business” breaking down stereotypes and adding value to one’s business as a plus-size star, and with popular fetish clip artist Sabien DeMonia breaking down the best ways to create, market and monetize fetish content in “Fetish Content Creation.”

After the educational sessions and meetups, it’s time for the “Mix & Meet Market” happy hour, offering high-energy networking time and a look at the latest products and services that can improve productivity and boost business. It’s the perfect way to wind down… before winding back up for the grand finale: the 2023 XBIZ Creator Awards, honoring the most dazzling personalities and vibrant artists in adult. It’s all capped off by a high-energy after-party, a farewell blowout for another memorable XBIZ Miami.
