The 2005 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) has secured its 220th exhibitor, organizers of the show announced today. That's 23 percent higher than last year's exhibitor number on the same date. AEE is sponsored by AVN and presented by Home Entertainment Events (HEE).
“Reaching the 200 exhibitor mark at this early date and the addition of 65 new exhibitors indicates that we will have a great Expo in 2005,” said spokesperson Carrie Dieterich. “The combination of the expansion of the B2B Marketplace, the unveiling of the GayVN Expo, and the trade-only first day promise to give the biggest and most diverse AEE ever in 2005.
“Exhibitors are excited about these expansions in product categories and the dedicated day for trade-only business, so they’ve committed early and with a lot of enthusiasm.”
Last year’s AEE had more than 250 exhibitors. Over 8,000 industry professionals – including retailers, distributors, manufacturers, exhibitors, press, and adult stars joined nearly 16,000 fans in attending last year’s show.
AEE is a unique tradeshow experience that showcases the most comprehensive collection of adult talent, exhibitors, and product, which attracts buyers and fans from around the world. Nearly 300 companies exhibited at the Expo in 2004, including virtually every major adult video production company.
Also in conjunction with the event is the GayVN Expo, a separate portion of the show floor devoted to this thriving sement of the adult industry. Exhibitor and attendee enthusiasm for the Gay Product Showcase of the 2004 AEE has prompted show organizers to expand the gay segment of the confab and create a show within a show. Cybersocket, Unzipped Video, and Channel One Releasing sponsor the GayVN Expo.
AEE sets the stage for the 22 annual AVN Awards Show, which will be held at the Venetian Hotel on Saturday, January 8, 2005.
