The Maui Conference- Saturday

Saturday

Loud music or soft. Hardcore trailers or not. Nudity or pasties. More security and line control? A fan appreciation day? Those were some of the issues discussed at the Maui conference Saturday morning when Tracy Harris and Kimberly Orr, representatives of AdvanStar, fielded a discussion group to determine future ground rules for The Adult Expo shows. A general consensus will be gleaned by the entire industry before any rules are put in to affect, it was noted. The summer show is scheduled for July 8 to 10 in Las Vegas; the winter show, January 7 to 10 following the IA 2000 show which is scheduled January 4 to 6.

Bill Lyon, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, also took the podium and brought the conference up-to-speed with some of the programs FSC is implementing. Lyon acknowledged that one of Free Speech's past weaknesses has been the ability to toot its own horn but that major changes are in the wind.
