Today over 200 companies will welcome retailers, manufacturers, distributors, buyers, press and fans on the opening day of the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE).
Show organizers anticipate that this year they will have their largest turnout ever with over 200 adult companies committed to the show that brings businesses and fans together for fours days of exposure to the largest comprehensive collection of adult talent, exhibitors and product.
“The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo not only highlights the economic strength of the industry but also the strong connections that fans have to their favorite adult stars and products,” said Carrie Dieterich, spokesperson for Home Entertainment Events (HEE), the company that presents the annual event.
