The largest sex toy exhibition was held in Los Angeles at Marriott Burbank Airport. This exhibition is one of the oldest and most respected b2b-exhibition of achievements of products for adults, it takes place twice a year - two days in January and three days in July. The sponsors and organizers of the exhibition are such giants who stood at the origins of the emergence of the industry as Pipedream, Doc Johnson, CalExotics. The exhibition takes place in the exhibition complex at the Marriott Hotel, occupying 3 exhibition rooms. Mostly American and Canadian companies present their new products at this exhibition, but in recent years the exhibition has become increasingly open to foreign manufacturers. Here you can meet buyers who work in the United States, but many of the manufacturers represented are conducting international business. The format and size of the exhibition is comparable to the eroFame exhibition in Hanover, meetings begin to be scheduled in a few months to six months, the day is scheduled every minute, business for the next year is largely determined by the quality of preparation for the exhibition. Two entertaining events take place during the exhibition: an opening party on the eve of the exhibition and a theme dinner at the end of the second day. This year, the opening theme was “80s Style Party”, and on the second day there was a casino-style dinner with playing tables. I would like to note the high level of organization, as well as sophisticated presentable stands. Looking forward to the July ANME!

The end of the January exhibition marathon is AVN, the largest adult show in the world. Like XBIZ, AVN is a media corporation with an even more impressive long history. Since 1984, the AVN show has been held annually in Las Vegas, the dimensions of the exhibition are impressive, every year tens of thousands of fans of adult films and simply sexually liberated people come to Las Vegas to see firsthand famous performers, actresses, get in touch with their world and plunge into a week of madness and unbridled fun. The exhibition consists of several parts and occupies one of the largest hotels in Las Vegas - Hard Rock. The exhibition is divided into several parts. ADULT ENTERTAINMENT EXPOIs a b2c exhibition open to the public. Here you can get an autograph of your favorite adult movie star, watch an erotic show, take part in prize drawings, buy sex toys. All the top studios and retail stores are represented in this part of the show. 

INTERNEXT - this part of the exhibition is dedicated to the technological part of the adult industry. This is a great platform for technology startups, online resources, webcams. 3 busy days of seminars, conferences, parties aimed at the development of technology in the adult goods industry. 

ADULT NOVELTY EXPO  - this part of the exhibition is strictly b2b, retailers and distributors meet with manufacturers of toys and intimate cosmetics, following an individual schedule. This part of the exhibition lasts 3 days, participants have access to the lounge for breakfast and lunch, ordinary visitors to the exhibition are not allowed in this area. AVN, like XBIZ, pays for travel and accommodation for buyers in which manufacturers are interested. 

AVN AWARDS is the closing night, a stunning award show that takes place on the last day of the exhibition, a ticket to this event is not included in the ticket price. The hosts of the ceremony this time were adult film actresses Nikki Benz and Emily Bloom. The musical performances of rapper Doja Cat and DJ Deeplo took place throughout the show. Last year's guest star was Cordi B. 

In total, about 100 awards were presented in various categories. Also during the ceremony, the announcement of the next industry stars included in the AVN Hall of Fame took place . A complete list of winners can be seen here and  here . 

Having visited this show or at least when you were in Vegas at that time and seeing the number of people arriving at the show from all over the world, you begin to realize how underestimated the scale of our business is. Many people whom I met at the exhibition come to the show for 20 years in a row and there is no other place where they can be in January. The business opportunities here are endless, here you can meet the future face of your brand, find an attractive technology startup for investment, start working with print publications such as Playboy and Penthouse, here you can meet Jenna Jameson, James Dean, Nina Hartley, and most likely You will even live with them in the same hotel! The atmosphere of Las Vegas, combined with the specifics of the industry, turn this week into an unforgettable cocktail of impressions! Each day of the exhibition is not like the previous one, the program of each part of the show is very eventful, and at the end of each day in the same Hard Rock hotel there are various parties from the AVN corporation - a party in the hall of fame, a party in white, a fetish party, award ceremonies for achievements in the market for adult products "O Awards". Friday and Saturday are the most visited days, in the b2c part the number of people goes off the scale, fans stand in lines for hours to take pictures with Abella Danger. AVN is certainly a place where any person can express their sexuality in a variety of ways. It’s great that only 50 years have passed since Playboy and Hustler scattered brochures with naked ladies in dressing toilets, and now one of the leading cities in the United States turns into a mecca of the industry for a week, attracting more people every year. Here, seeing couples coming from all over the world in search of new sensations, seeing how people with disabilities take pictures with any stars and truly enjoy every moment of this crazy show, seeing how we and our colleagues sell thousands of products, like people who dedicated this cry for a lifetime on stage, receiving their first award, an irresistible desire to work in this area and increase the number of happy and sexually satisfied people appears.
