CHATSWORTH, Calif.—AVN Media Network is pleased to announce that the premiere event for buyers across the adult entertainment industry, the VIBE Program, will be returning to the Adult Entertainment Expo, Jan. 21-24.
An exclusive, invitation-only program for the industry’s largest buyers, VIBE offers participants one-on-one meetings away from the noisy crowds, networking lunches that are both relaxing and productive, and rollicking parties that will help everyone wind down at night. It’s a balanced schedule that will make their time in Sin City both fun and profitable.
Time after time the VIBE Program attracts the adult industry’s biggest names from across all spectrums of the distribution landscape. From the top buyers in the novelty sector, to DVD distribution stalwarts, the VIBE program is a one-stop shop to connect and do business without any of hassle.
Though the VIBE guests are there to have a good time, they’re also looking to make deals and forge connections while they’re in the ultimate party town.
“The VIBE Program, now in its fourth year, keeps getting bigger and better,” AVN VIBE Director Timothy Ferencz said. “We listen to our exhibitors and create a program that meets all of their buying needs. The VIBE Program brings together buyers both foreign and domestic, retail and distributor, online and mail order, broadcast and content licensers and major cable networks. All together, the VIBE Program gives exhibitors a chance to meet with buyers from seven different revenue streams. No other meeting program can match that.”
For many participants VIBE offers the premier in-person opportunity for them to connect with their network spread out all over the globe, to ensure that everyone from old friends to new associates has a chance to meet in a luxurious stress-free environment conducive to business and pleasure.
“The VIBE format is hands down the best way for us connect with our customers,” said Devil’s Film’s Steve Volponi, a regular VIBE participant. “We did more business at this year’s show than any other show we’ve ever attended. We even have deals set up for the next four months. I look forward to seeing how AVN plans to top this year’s event.”
Industry veteran and new VIBE Program participant Amy Lew, CEO of All Media Group, said, “2013 was the first year we participated in the VIBE program and it turned out to be a huge success. The program's accommodations and organization made it easy for us to connect with a ton of our customers in a just a few days. We look forward to next year's event."
James from Black Market said, “I thought the VIBE show went well, we accomplished everything we needed to. All in all it was well worth it and I look forward to doing it again next year.”
On the distribution side, Robert Plarski, vice president of Pulse Distribution, prefers the AVN VIBE Program over its imitators.
“I much prefer the way AVN has set up the VIBE Program,” Plarski said. “By having one body organizing all of our meetings, it ensures each manufacturer quality one-on-one time with our most valued clients!”
Matt Weir of Romantix is another VIBE veteran who sings its praises.
“VIBE is currently is the best way to get buyers and vendors to meet,” he said. “The meetings are productive, and set up in a great format. It’s right to business, no being distracted by the things going on at the convention. This is the show Romantix looks forward to every year!”
Gamelink Vice President of Business Development Jeff Dillon touts the VIBE Program’s organization.
“Tim and the VIBE staff did an amazing job this year organizing the VIBE Program,” Dillon said. “They take the headache out of booking and setting up important meetings. The VIBE program gets better and better every year. Looking forward to 2015.”
Eddie Santiago, buyer for Lion’s Den/National Video, echoes his colleagues’ sentiments. “The VIBE Program is a great way to do business! It’s the perfect blend of meetings, networking and fun. If I had to choose one buyer’s event to attend, VIBE would be it.”
For those who buy adult product, the answer is clear that VIBE attracts the most important people in the business, making it a must-attend event.
"We found the AEE VIBE Program to be rewarding and a very quiet and effective way to conduct business in a hectic Las Vegas environment,” said Third World Media’s Steve Scott.
“This year’s VIBE Program was a big success,” Exquisite’s Jerry Estrada enthused. “AVN did a great job! If you’re a manufacturer and you have to choose which meeting program to participate in, AVN’s VIBE Program should be your first and only choice!”
AVN would like to thank those who have already registered for the program.
“AVN appreciates the support you have given the Adult Entertainment Expo and the VIBE Program,” AVN’s Ferencz said. “Without you, we would not have been able to grow into the biggest and best meeting program in adult. We have the most exhibitors and the most buyers out of all the meeting programs. I look forward to seeing you all in 2015!”
