LOS ANGELES — Epoch, Hustler and Gamma have joined forces to sponsor a networking special event at a traditional English pub in London on Sept. 23 for registered attendees of the highly anticipated XBIZ EU international digital media conference.

This event is a must-attend; make sure you put it on your schedule.”
