MIAMI—The inaugural Camming Con conference, founded to promote the live cam industry, which was originally to be held in Miami in June, has moved its dates to later in the summer, and will now take place July 31-August 3 at the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami’s South Beach. The 2014 Camming Con is the first trade show of its kind, created to offer a networking platform for content providers, studio partners, models, fans, and overlapping businesses.

Why the move? Show organizer Clinton Cox explained, “We were waiting to release to the Industry our participating sponsors when it was brought to our attention that the AW Summit dates were the same weekend as we had originally planned. Conferences for this industry are new, so for a brand to represent themselves at one conference is a new venture; to try and represent themselves at two conferences simultaneously in separate hemispheres is not possible. Every brand we were working with told us they did not want to have to choose. We reached out to AW Summit to see what we could come up with and moving our show later into the summer was the right move.
We don't want brands to have to choose what territory is most important,” he added. “We hope this sends a strong message to all segments of the live chat industry that we are producing this platform for the long term and to push the evolution of the industry.”
With the new dates, Camming Con is looking forward to signing on the strongest names in the industry, with the hope that the new dates will get all the top companies involved and behind Camming Con and the U.S. marketplace.
“The coincidence of two conferences in live cams for the first time ever, the exact same dates, is proof this industry is not only evolving but growing,” said Cox. “It is a cornerstone of Camming Con's mission to evolve the industry and be a major part of its growth. We are taking a large hit to illustrate that we don’t seek to compete with other shows, but to give more opportunity to those within. Both territories are very important to the cam industry, so after many conversations this move made the most sense.”
With over 100 models committed to participate, Camming Con will be the best vehicle to directly promote to attendees. The most recognized brands in the camming community will be exhibiting at the expo, representing all areas of the industry including cam sites, card payment providers, hardware and software providers, and advertising platforms.
Industry Day, August 1, will feature B2B seminars, breakout sessions, and group discussions in addition to the exhibit booths and special promotions. The seminar schedule will be announced in April.
“While much of the programming will be fan-based, the primary goal is to improve, expand, and enhance the Camming business - and to ensure that every business goal is met,” added Cox. “With this in mind, Camming Con will offer a unique program that includes a well-rounded schedule of industry-focused events as well as excursions to Miami’s hottest spots."
Camming Con will host some of Camming’s top models. Representing sites like Streamate, Chaturbate, Naked, My Free Cams, Jasmin, Imlive, Cam4 and many more, these are career models with tens of thousands of fans. All are promoting the event via social media as well as seeking sponsorships from their fans.
Camming Con is concerned for model and attendee safety and there will be 24-hour surveillance. There is no better way to promote your product, site, or service than by being an exhibitor during our Industry Day and having your TOP models represent your brand on Fan Day.
