iWantEmpire Signs On as RISE Gala Diamond Sponsor

LOS ANGELES — In support of artists and performers, iWantEmpire has signed on as Diamond Sponsor of XBIZ’s RISE Talent Appreciation Gala.

The event will be held on Wednesday at 1OAKLA, in West Hollywood. The invitation-only celebration is presented by XBIZ, honors adult industry talent, and serves to unveil its 2018 award nominees.

“We are looking forward to the XBIZ Adult Appreciation Gala,” said Jay Phillips, vice president of iWantEmpire. “RISE is a great opportunity to share the iWantEmpire lifestyle brand with industry artists and we are honored to be a sponsor.”

As a Diamond Sponsor, iWantEmpire will have a booth, be featured on signage, print materials and other marketing and advertising assets for the annual event which serves as a precursor to the 2018 XBIZ Awards in January. The gala will feature a variety of top performers and notable personalities representing the industry’s top brands. Highlighting the event will be the official announcement of nominees for the 2018 XBIZ Awards.

The sponsorship is the newest move for iWantEmpire which has been growing exponentially with the recent addition of top adult figures as brand ambassadors such as Jenna Sativa, Tasha Reign, Riley Reyes, filmmaker Marc MacNamara, performers Wesley Woods, Diego Sans and Mandy Mitchell.

The event is not open to the public, but members of the adult industry who are interested in attending may e-mail rsvp@xbiz.com
