Venus Paris Expo Cancelled

The Venus Paris adult trade show originally set for April 20 - 22 on the Le Bourget Exhibition Grounds has been cancelled.

According to an online statement from event organizers Venus Berlin GmbH, "While the Venus Paris in 2006 was largely a success, we approached the [next] Venus Paris with a great deal of enthusiasm. Outstanding problems were solved and we had every intention of staging the [event] with the support of our strong partners."

The Venus statement continued: "[M]any exhibitors have meanwhile informed us that they are unable to exhibit at additional exhibitions such as in Paris on account of the current economic situation. And it goes without saying that an exhibition without the corresponding exhibitors makes little or no sense at all.

"The decision not to stage the Venus Paris [2007] is not one which we made lightly as development of an exhibition such as [this one] not only demands a lot of work and commitment, it also costs a lot of money to create basic structures for future exhibitions."

Venus Berlin is scheduled to take place from October 18-21.
