XBIZ is pleased to announce that performer, director, writer and producer Casey Calvert will deliver a keynote address at the 2023 XBIZ LA conference, set for Jan. 9-12.
North America’s largest adult industry conference will once again bring together top stars, indie creators, digital media pros, company execs and newcomer entrepreneurs for boundless business opportunities — and for a comprehensive look at the future of adult entertainment.
Calvert, a multi-XBIZ-Award-nominated performer, writer and director, has ushered in “Netflix-style” high-quality narrative productions through her work as an exclusive contract director for Lust Cinema.
“Casey’s work has been giving an essential boost to Erika Lust’s mission to shape a change in the industry by providing opportunities and bigger budgets to female directors in the U.S. and making the most out of the cinematic possibilities of porn,” enthused a Lust Cinema rep.
Active as a performer since arriving from her native Florida a decade ago, Calvert continues juggling roles in front of and behind the camera, as both an innovative auteur and a very much in-demand star of noted gonzo, kink and custom titles.
“It’s an incredible honor to be giving a keynote speech at XBIZ LA,” Calvert told XBIZ this week. “So much has changed in the business in the 10 years since I started, and I’m excited to discuss the past, present and future with my peers at the industry insider’s premier event.”
During the 2023 awards season, Calvert — who is up for Director of the Year — is being recognized for recent outstanding work like the supernatural fable “Sorrow Bay” and her theater-based dramedy feature, “Going Up,” an ambitious ensemble effort featuring a star-studded cast led by Seth Gamble, Victoria Voxxx and Charlotte Sartre.
The 2023 edition of XBIZ LA kicks off “XBIZ week” with an extensive array of scheduled panels, networking socials and exclusive special events such as Winter Wonderland and XBIZ Honors, as well as post-conference events X3 Expo and the 2023 XBIZ Awards.
