YNOT – Gamma Entertainment founder and president Karl Bernard will present the keynote talk at Internext 2013, set to take place Jan. 13-15 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

During the address, scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. Jan. 14, Bernard plans to summarize Gamma’s 16-year history and discuss lessons learned along the way. He also intends to provide attendees with an overview of the company’s corporate philosophy and a peek into what the future may hold.

According to Bernard, honesty and transparency are his company’s hallmarks, and combining the two perspectives has helped Gamma build an international reputation for “genunin-ness,” strong technical knowledge and ingenuity. Bernard often has said “treat others as you would want to be treated” is his motto, and he applies the phrase to his personal and professional lives.

Montreal-based Gamma, which grew out of Bernard’s computer hobby and a single, home-based website, today employs hundreds of people, partners with some of the most recognized names in adult entertainment and consistently wins industry awards for technology and customer service. Among the company’s business partners are Evil Angel, Mile High Media, Devils Film, COLT Studio Group, Falcon Studios and Hot House Entertainment.

“We are truly honored to have Karl Bernard present the keynote address at Internext this year,” said Theo Sapoutzis, chief executive officer for Internext parent company AVN Media Network. “For all of the success of Gamma Entertainment, the company he founded 16 years ago, Karl represents a generation of adult entrepreneurs whose best years are ahead of them, and I cannot wait to hear his perspective on an industry he has and will continue to help define.”

Internext is one of the largest worldwide business and educational conferences catering to affiliates, company owners and rank-and-file webmasters in the online segment of the adult industry. The trade show occurs annually during January in Las Vegas, in conjunction with sister events Adult Entertainment Expo (Jan. 16-19 this year) and Adult Novelty Expo (Jan. 19).
