The XBIZ Awards, now rebranded as the XMAs, has announced its 2025 nominations reveal party, set to take place on Wednesday, November 20, at the Sound venue in Hollywood. The event, sponsored by Streamate and Streamen, will kick off with red-carpet arrivals at 8 p.m.

“There’s no better way to kick off the holiday season than by coming together as a community to celebrate the many achievements our industry has seen over the past year,” said XBIZ Events Director Moe Helmy. “This event is a chance for colleagues and friends to uplift one another and show appreciation for all the hard work that earned this year’s nominees their well-deserved recognition.”

The nominations party will be held at the Sound venue, an 8,000-square-foot space known for its impressive audiovisual capabilities and luxurious atmosphere. Attendees can expect an evening of celebration and networking as the nominees for the 2025 XMAs are revealed.

This year’s event also marks a significant milestone for the awards show as it undergoes a major rebranding from the XBIZ Awards to the XMAs.

The 2025 XMAs ceremony will take place on January 19, concluding the X3 Expo, which is scheduled for January 17-18. The nominations party serves as an exciting prelude to the main event, building anticipation for the industry’s prestigious awards ceremony.
