XBIZ Los Angeles 2026

XBIZ Los Angeles 2026 ran from 12 to 15 January 2026 at the Kimpton Everly Hotel, 1800 Argyle Avenue in Hollywood — four days of panels, workshops, business lounges and networking that open the adult industry's business year. As in previous editions, a single badge covered the conference plus the wider XBIZ Week programme, including the X3 Expo and the FSC Summit run with the Free Speech Coalition.

The week closed with the 2026 XMAs, the awards gala that debuted in 2003 as the XBIZ Awards and took its current name in 2025. Billed as the Adult Industry's Biggest Night, it remains the principal counterpart to the AVN Awards, and the red-carpet ceremony anchors a dense calendar of sponsor parties and post-conference events across Hollywood.

Programming spanned the industry as it now is rather than as it was: creator economy and platform sessions, payments and compliance briefings, marketing and monetisation workshops, technology demonstrations, and the closed-door meetings between studios, distributors, retailers and service providers that are the real reason most attendees travel.

This edition has already taken place and is listed here as a record. XBIZ returns to Hollywood each January.

A conference programme rather than a billed line-up: seminars, workshops, business lounges and networking sessions across four days, with the 2026 XMAs as the closing gala and the X3 Expo and FSC Summit running during the same week.
