WHAT: "iHollywood Forum: How Adult Entertainment Profits from the
Internet and Implications for Mainstream Digital
Entertainment." Whatever one's attitude toward adult
entertainment, one fact is undeniable: it's the only segment
of the entertainment industry that consistently makes money on
the Internet. For 20 years, adult entertainment companies have
been "first adopters" for most major entertainment technology
advances -- from cable to video to DVDs to the Internet. Does
adult entertainment know something about content, technology
and marketing on the Internet that Hollywood doesn't -- beyond
the obvious "sex sells"?
WHO: iHollywood Forum, www.iHollywoodForum.com, is a professional
networking organization dedicated to providing ongoing
seminars and business development opportunities for
interactive Hollywood and new media professionals.
