    Thanks for posting this article it is very interesting.

    It does make me wonder who it is selling out too though....the cam models or the fans.

    I hope we will get to see the breakdown of some numbers eventually.

    Its more or less a B2B conference now, so neither really. Affiliates, traffic pushers, pay processors, some site and studio owners - the same basic pool of reps they send to all these things.

    That is what I am thinking like are industry is not new they way they are making it out to be its almost like they've forgot about us and using camming to reinvent the industry. when we've been around well since 2000,

    XBiz will be going on at the same time at the same hotel, last year it was a few days before with one day cross over.

    Fans are only there for a few hours of the last day of the event aka fan day which was about 5 hours last year. Plus there was all kinds of security to keep the performers safe at all times. There weren't fans running around the hotel or in and out of the seminars. Lots of great seminars were held & each of them was packed by the girls. Not to mention a wonderful model lounge that you could chill out in and have a few snacks & a cold drink at any time.

    Xbiz is all about business and it will also have seminars but you have to get a separate pass for it to attend them. All the events at night held by Xbiz & Camcon were excellent mixers to conduct business and getting to know your peers.

    Cam con also held an event where all the vendors and cam sites had reps & booths for us to question them & the platforms they represented. Here is your chance to ask the cam companies you work with or want to work with direct questions face-to-face.. How many of us want that? I do! Why would you pass up and opportunity to get to know in person the people who run these cam sites? Should have seen my face when Vanessa from SM walked up and introduced herself to me.. Then her face when Sally D'Angelo pounced on her to ask a ton of questions.

    I can testify it was all about business and not really about the fans. Fan day I did find to be fun, got there early & set up exactly who I wanted to be around me in other booths. Had a blast running around it and taking pics with the other models too. Probably played fan-girl myself more than anything else.

    CAM CON was so well run, so incredible how they catered & took care of the models. No other show, event or con can even compare to the quality, care, thoughtfullness put into by Stacy & Quinten.

    Cam Con isn't condescending to the performers like other shows I've been to over the years, it is about seeing us as business partners & our success growing. Not about how to exploit us so we make the least amount of money & all the major porn companies & industry middle men banking. Which, I still see xbiz as apart of that culture, but even they know we are the future & trying to figure out how to hold onto our coat tails for them to stay in this industry.

    I have a feeling there will be way more performers there than Xbiz industry people & they will be shocked. Cause we won't be there as eye or arm candy but as business minded go getters.

    Please don't speculate, just ask performers who actually went last year.

    I was wondering about that!

    Shows how little I know about these types of conferences. It never occurred to me that they would include sponsors in their ticket numbers. Thank goodness for you Katy!

    Thank you Sam for more clarification. I guess we're still trying to figure out how to justify the expense after last year's debacles. It would be nice to take a tax deductible junket to Florida, but we really can't spare ourselves to do it...maybe next year.

    I do have to say that what they are asking for a ticket is still way over the top! $125 per day, $225 for two days?

    There are many educational conferences that have been around FOR YEARS that don't charge those prices. O.O

    I just can not see myself going to this conference any time in the future at those prices no matter how well run it may be.

    Earlier you get the tickets the cheaper they are to attain. Same thing with Fetish Con in Tampa, order way in advance & it is cheaper.

    With camcon it is more than just seminars, lots of snacks, drinks & champaign too. I'm there from about 10am till 10 pm then I head back home, since I live here. Simply is that much to do & be apart of, but I don't stay as long as the parties last either.

    I also take into consideration what deals I'm after, which there are a few.I have plans for me to move more behind the scenes & need to face to face meetings to feel those out more.

    How many selfies I can take & post on all social media for branding & getting more traffic. Networking & getting to know Vicki Vette, Sara Jay, Stacy Dash and many other lovely ladies. Meeting some of the newbies on their way up & knowing them from the start before they become huge stars. To actually be around my PEERS, those whom I admire & seen online.

    Also will be going to Fetish Con, cause all I do there is shoot trade content. Last year I shot 40 scenes in 2.5 days.

    I've invested 16 yrs of my life into this industry. Going to such events that are more about b2b than fans gives me a true meter of what's going on in the biz, who are the real power players, what's on the horizon next and to just keep my ears open & hear how some of the players really think of the performers.

    Then sometimes, I get to be face to face with some of those who make major decisions in the camming industry & give them a piece of my mind. Don't really care what they think about me, but seen some of the policies change from the past too. More than likely not because of me, but like to think maybe a little bit. At least having the opportunity to hear their reasons behind it & counter it. Like Imlive chargeback crap.

    We can't change the industry for our benefit if we don't participate with it in a real way. The SW board & CammingCommunity affects it greatly, they are all reading here. If you are happy with the industry, cam contracts and such don't go. Don't spend the money if you don't think it is worth it. It is to me.

    I want to know the next big thing that might happen in this biz. I want to affect change. I don't want to just complain & accept things as they are, cause that never works for me. Cause I've seen changes over the past 16 years especially in the camming industry. Believe it can be even better.

    I don't go to AVN because it is a party, nor do they take the performer's seriously, but I know that because I've been 6 to 7 times in the past.
    XXXotica, Glamour con & all the others are focused on the fans. Been there, done that when they were way bigger shows than they are now. There is no real biz done & those fans don't convert into sales.

    This isn't my first XbizMiami show either, first one was in 2001. But back then vendors & reps didn't give performers the time of day unless a blow job was involved. I've seen first hand this industry change.

    There is a real benefit to me, but for each person that can be only determined for yourself.

    Oh, I didn't realize there were advance tickets. Thanks for the heads up on that!

    You can email Xbiz & attend those seminars for free as a performer. Seminars & events are separate for Xbiz & Cam con, so you will need separate tickets.

    I know it can be a great expense, only do it if you see it as an investment that will pay off in the long run. If you are a money maker for a particular cam site or video on demand company ask them to sponsor you. Cam con ask girls to have fans sponsor them. At this point probably to short of notice to plan out the trip for this year, but not for next year. So you can lay the ground work for a company to help off set the cost if you are a major earner for them.

    Smooches,
    Sam

    Is it always in Miami? I live just a couple hours away and I would love to go, but I did not plan accordingly this year. I hope to attend next year if so

    As far as I know they have all been in Miami. It would be great to see them do more then one a year! Especially if they can do one on the west coast!

    This will be the 3rd year, but XbizMiami event has been going on for almost 2 decades.
