YNOT – Free Speech Coalition has launched a new mini-website devoted to a brand-new undertaking designed to bring adult industry leaders together for brainstorming, education and camaraderie. The first-ever FSC Summit will take place Nov. 8 at the Sofitel Hotel in West Hollywood, Calif.

A day of seminars will be followed by a gala reception, during which the annual FSC Awards will be presented. Awards will be given in the following categories: Woman of the Year, Man of the Year, Internet Company of the Year, Novelty Company of the Year, Production Company of the Year, the Positive Image Awards and the Legacy Award.

“We are so pleased and honored to highlight the political, legal and business issues that affect the industry in this first-ever event,” said FSC Chief Executive Officer Diane Duke. “As the adult industry trade association, FSC works on the frontlines of these issues and others, to promote the wellbeing and business interests of adult industry businesses and all the folks employed by the adult industry.

“Especially since this show will follow one of the most contentious elections in memory, there will be plenty to discuss,” Duke added. “We will be looking at the results of the election — especially the Los Angeles County condom ordinance, which will have been decided by voters.”

FSC Summit seminars will include:

• Strange Bedfellows – What You Need to Know About Sex & Politics
• Diversification – How to Expand Your Business with Multiple Revenue Streams & Cross-Promotion
• The New Internet – How it Will Affect your Brand
• Opening Up Brave New Markets and Revitalizing Established Markets
• Piracy, Politics and Patent Trolls
• Legal Mumbo Jumbo – Making Sense of Legal Trends and Litigation

Sponsorships for the inaugural summit are available. For information, visit FreeSpeechCoalition.com/summit or email the organizers.
