Exxxotica Enjoys 25 Percent Growth On Opening Day

MIAMI BEACH, Fla.—The Exxxotica Expo is excited to report that last Friday's opening set new records for the show as its strongest opening day to date.The expo also announced that it's changing venues in 2013, with confirmation the show will be moving 30 minutes up Route 95 to Ft. Lauderdale next year.

In the seventh year of Exxxotica in South Beach, where the expo got its start in 2006, attendance was up for the evening approximately 25 percent, and advance ticket sales and media attention for the remainder of the three-day event showed no sign of it slowing down.

With a redesigned "stadium layout" on the show floor, increased production on the xPeeps Entertainment Stage that features top level talent and an expanded VIP program, the feedback from attendees and exhibitors was said to be positive.

Despite the record-setting numbers for Exxxotica's South Beach opening, show management announced its plans for 2013 to move the expo to Ft. Lauderdale next May after much deliberation.

"We love South Florida and do not want to leave the vicinity as it's been an incredible seven years," J. Handy, creator and direction of Exxxotica, said. "Our goal is to not only give our attendees and exhibitors the best show possible each and every year, but to also grow and expand what the 'Exxxotica Experience' is. Our team felt that this move and the cooperation of the venue in Ft. Lauderdale will enable us to better realize our visions in a more synergistic way. We want to thank everyone who has supported Exxxotica Miami Beach throughout the years, but it's time to start planning on Exxxotica South Florida in 2013."
