Designed to drive global business without travel or border restrictions, the virtual editions of our pleasure market events offer a cost-effective way for product manufacturers and retail buyers to connect, conduct business and build new opportunities from anywhere in the world.
The event centers on a virtual meeting program designed to connect qualified pleasure brands and retail buyers through targeted, prescheduled appointments. Participants gain valuable one-on-one face time with key decision-makers, allowing them to efficiently introduce new products, conduct business and establish meaningful new partnerships.
Beyond scheduled meetings, attendees can gain bonus face time through open networking sessions that encourage spontaneous video conversations. The virtual platform makes it easy to browse attendees and forge new connections from around the world.
The virtual format offers a cost-effective way to access the signature XBIZ meeting program. Without the expenses associated with travel, accommodations and on-site attendance, companies can connect directly with qualified industry professionals and unlock new business across the globe.
The curation of the XBIZ LA and Miami Retreats is truly superb. The XBIZ team puts tremendous intention and energy into ensuring that the tradeshow-retreat experience is memorable for everyone involved, whether a vendor or a retailer. At each XBIZ Retreat I've attended, I've created new relationships, whether with the vendors sitting next to me at dinner or the other buyers I run into while taking the stairs or elevator between meetings. I've made lasting memories with people I'd known only by email for years, meeting them in person for the first time at an XBIZ event. A major part of what makes the XBIZ events different from other shows is the size and number of attendees, which creates a communal atmosphere. You share meals with the same people for several days, and there's enough time and events that you could meet everyone at the show. Rather than a loud, busy tradeshow hall, at XBIZ Retreats you have the opportunity to create and cultivate business relationships in a beautiful environment that allows you to get to know the people you're working with on a more personal level.
We've been part of XBIZ events for more than a decade, and what keeps us coming back is simple: they evolve with the industry instead of resting on what worked last year. What truly sets XBIZ apart is that they do the work to make connections happen. Rather than putting the onus on everyone to chase their own opportunities, XBIZ delivers company profiles and sets meeting programs in advance, so every attendee walks in already knowing who's on the floor, retailers and vendors alike. That structure turns a trade show into real business, not just a room full of business cards. And the XBIZ Honors awards ceremony? That's the night everyone looks forward to: a chance to dress to impress, show up for one another, and celebrate the achievements of the peers we're proud to stand beside.
Some of my best memories were made at XBIZ shows and awards. They truly know how to put on an unforgettable event. They bring together some of the industry’s most established manufacturers while also showcasing emerging brands.
XBIZ events have consistently delivered one thing that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in today’s industry: direct access to qualified decision-makers. Whether attending the Los Angeles, Miami or international editions, the quality of the networking and business opportunities is exceptional. They create an environment where meaningful conversations happen naturally, allowing brands, distributors and retailers to build long-term partnerships rather than simply exchange business cards.
Some of my most meaningful relationships started as simple introductions at XBIZ events. There’s something really special about the atmosphere they create. The experience leaves you feeling creatively invigorated, well-informed and inspired. It feels like arriving exactly where you belong, in the company of individuals who share a deep passion for this industry.
