XBIZ is an American publisher of business news and business information for the sex industry founded in 1998 and based in Los Angeles.[1]

In addition to its flagship "Xbiz.com" website, XBIZ publishes two monthly trade magazines, hosts winter and summer exhibition and industry conferences, as well as facilitates networking among adult online professionals through a business-to-business (B2B) professional networking service. XBIZ company representatives are frequently cited in mainstream media articles about business trends and practices in the industry.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

XBIZ and its affiliated publications and services are operated by Adnet Media, which was founded in 1998 by adult-internet industry veteran Alec Helmy.[9] Helmy is a founding member of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP).[10]
