YNOT – The two-day, two-track educational lineup for Internext 2012 will give attendees a chance to explore the mobile sector, managing tube-site traffic, cloud technology and anti-piracy efforts. Scheduled to run Jan. 16-17 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, the seminar program focuses on the future potential of an industry in transition.

“We’re looking forward to dynamic sessions that speak to the current and future needs of our attendees,” said AVN Senior Editor Tom Hymes, who coordinated the educational portion of the trade show. “Though we always try to create an atmosphere in which people feel comfortable enough to speak their minds openly, you get the feeling that people are eager to break out of the malaise that has gripped much the industry and the economy as a whole. We hope to see that energy vigorously expressed during these panels.”

Notable Internext 2012 seminars include State of Piracy, set for 5-6 p.m., and What to Do with Your Mobile Traffic, 2-3 p.m., both on Jan. 16. A special State of the Industry panel at 3 p.m. Jan. 16 is expected to feature a lineup of industry veterans including Dating Gold’s Allan Henning, CommerceGate’s Bjorn Skarlen, Evil Angel’s Christian Mann and Hustler’s Michael Klein in addition to AVN Chief Executive Officer Theo Sapoutzis.

Additional panels include Big Tubes, Big Traffic, Big Profits (Jan. 16, 2 p.m.); Legal Update (Jan. 17, 1 p.m.); Billing (Jan. 16, 4 p.m.) and Alternative Billing (Jan. 17, 2 p.m.); Hosting Porn on a Cloud (Jan. 16, 5 p.m.), and How to Protect Your Online Brands, a presentation by industry attorneys Lawrence Walters and Corey Silverstein (Jan. 16, 3 p.m.).

Internext, operated by AVN’s parent company since 2001, also will include a keynote address by Manwin Managing Partner Fabian Thylmann, scheduled for 3-4 p.m. Jan. 17.

“Besides the chance to share my thoughts and perspectives on the current state of the industry, it is also a chance to address any remaining questions anyone has about Manwin,” Thylmann told AVN. “I have always been open to answering any and all questions, and this will be a chance to do it up-close and personal.”
