Epoch to Sponsor XBIZ Summer ‘06 Forum

MARINA DEL REY, Calif. – As plans for the XBIZ Summer ‘06 Forum continue to take shape, Epoch/Paycom has signed on as a sponsor and will throw a poolside, Caribbean-themed party on the second night of the event at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

The Epoch Caribbean Cool Down, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on July 13, will feature music, hors d’oeurves and an open bar. Epoch also is a seminar sponsor and will have a poolside cabana.

The XBIZ Summer ’06 Forum, scheduled for July 12-14, is the debut show in what is expected to become a “must attend” yearly gathering for the adult community to network, party and relax in the peak of summer.

"Epoch is proud to be a sponsor of the first ever XBIZ Summer Forum in Las Vegas this year,” Rand Pate, Epoch’s communications director, said. “We've had a strong relationship with XBIZ for nearly a decade, and it's been amazing to watch them transform their business over the years. Alec [Helmy] has assembled a first-rate team, business and news source in addition to his efforts with ASACP. I'm very excited about their webmaster forum this summer. We're very happy to help support the event.”

Kristen Kaye, sales and marketing manager for XBIZ, said that Epoch’s track record of throwing great parties is a feather in the cap of the event.

“We’re happy to have their support as we endeavor into the XBIZ Summer Forum, and having a company known for throwing terrific parties on board enhances the value of attending this event,” Kaye said.

On the first night of the forum, National Net will throw a kickoff party at 40 Deuce in Las Vegas, following the XBIZ Summer ’06 Forum poolside welcome reception from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Many more sponsorships and events in conjunction with the event will be announced over the coming weeks.

XBIZ Summer ’06 Forum registration is still open. Registration is required for access to seminars, business functions and special events.
