The seminar track anchors the educational programming with sessions focused on real-world challenges and opportunities. “Storefront to Digital: The Future of Adult Retail” explores how brick-and-mortar businesses are adapting to omnichannel strategies and changing consumer expectations. The “AV in Focus” panel examines how the rapid expansion and enforcement of age-verification laws are reshaping the digital landscape for online adult retailers and pleasure brands. “Navigating the State of Tariffs” provides timely insights into trade policies, supply-chain pressures and cost management in a changing global market.
New this year, Roundtable Chats offer a more personal alternative to traditional panels. Held during daily lunch hours, these intimate sessions focus on open conversation, allowing attendees to exchange experiences, compare strategies and leave with practical insights drawn from everyday operations.
A key highlight on the schedule is Carol Queen’s keynote address, which will explore the intersection of culture, education and commerce, drawing on her decades of experience in sexual wellness to examine how pleasure, public discourse and business continue to influence one another in a rapidly evolving marketplace. The session will be followed by a Paradise-sponsored happy hour celebrating XBIZ Expo’s emphasis on community.
Networking remains a central focus throughout the event, from the WIA Mixer and welcome reception on Jan. 8 to the SWPA Happy Hour the following afternoon, along with other hosted gatherings. A unique experience, “Pottery & Sip: Get Your Hands Dirty with b-Vibe,” adds a creative, hands-on element to the schedule, offering a different way to connect beyond traditional networking.
With a well-rounded mix of seminars, roundtables and social events, the 2026 XBIZ Expo schedule is designed to keep the industry informed, engaged and connected leading up to the Pleasure Industry’s Biggest Night™, the 2026 XBIZ Honors, on Jan. 11 at Avalon Hollywood.
