The “O” Awards recognizes the top products of the year and is a traditional highlight of the ANE show, which is slated for Jan. 21-23. This year, ANE will take over the entire Paradise Tower, as well as expand the offerings of networking opportunities and educational seminars and workshops.

All ANE attendees are invited to attend the "O" Awards on Jan 22. To register, click here. Open only to registered attendees, the “O” Awards ceremony will have a new format that will enhance its networking potential—one of many exciting changes for ANE. This year, the AVN Novelty Expo will take over the entire Paradise Tower, with expanded networking opportunities, educational seminars and workshops.

Exhibitors will set up shop in Festival Hall, Fuel Café and the Paradise Tower lobby, while VIBE—AVN’s specialized meeting program—will take place in three floors of meetings rooms in the tower.

Only members of the industry will be granted access to the Paradise Tower throughout the show. Also, only those in the industry will be able to book rooms in the Paradise Tower.

Registration is now open for ANE, and details can be found at NoveltyExpo.com.

Hotel rooms start at $99 and the Paradise Tower is reserved exclusively for trade attendees. To book a room, click here.
