AVN Extends Deadline for <i>Industry Directory</i>

Companies seeking to be included in the second annual AVN Media Network Industry Directory will now have until August 11 for inclusion, due to the fact that the previous deadline of July 21 has been recently extended.

Darren Roberts, AVN’s chief executive officer, said the upcoming directory will be the most comprehensive guide to the industry and its resources yet.

“We recognized there was a need to consolidate those adult industry contacts into one resource guide,” Roberts said.

“Plus, our industry is so dynamic that it’s hard to keep track of all the new people, companies and address changes. With the AVN-ID, we’re publishing the most current information available today.”

The directory will list everything from manufacturers, distributors and billing to retailers, graphic art services and production and technical services serving the adult industry.

This year, the industry is expected to grow by about 12 percent, according to an AVN report, with scores of new businesses in the digital, video on demand, mobile and Internet segments in particular.

Such growth means a more new businesses will be included in the directory which will be published in December, said Lano Williams, AVN’s director of business intelligence.

“Mobile and Internet segments are going to be especially larger this year,” he added.
