XBIZ EU 2013 also will feature a range of special panel discussions, including the controversial Porn Studies session featuring editors Clarissa Smith and Georgina Voss, who will speak about the academic journal that garnered significant media attention; an interview with ATVOD's Pete Johnson; and The War on Porn panel featuring leading U.K. industry attorney Myles Jackman, U.S. attorney Marc Randazza, Free Speech Coalition's Diane Duke and author and commentator Nichi Hodgson.

And on Monday, Sex & Censorship will hold a public meeting during XBIZ EU to discuss opposition to censorship of the Internet and other media. Jerry Barnett, who founded Sex & Censorship, will open via video at the meeting and will be followed by stripper and activist Edie Lamort, porn star Karina Currie, obscenity attorney Jackman, the FSC's Diane Duke and Julian Petley, a professor who is an expert on censorship.

On Sunday, XBIZ EU experienced a protest outside of XBIZ EU official hotel and convention site for the conference. About two dozen protesters lined Bloomsbury Street for about one-and a-half hours, claiming in their chants that the conference was there to maximizing profits.

Organizers from LondonFeministNetwork.org lined in front of the hotel to gain publicity over the protest, one that was similarly staged at XBIZ EU 2011 by UKFeminista.
