BERLIN—SX Tech EU has released the full program for SX Festival & SX Expo 2026, and “the line-up reaffirms the event’s mission towards the celebration of sex, technology and business,” an event representative said.
Returning to Heeresbäckerei Berlin in Kreuzberg June 26–28, this year’s edition will bring together a range of industry operators, educators, creators, performers and innovators across four dedicated stages, covering topics from payment infrastructure and AI regulation to rope art, sexual wellness and live performance.
Organized by Sx Tech EU, a Berlin-based company since 2019, SX Festival & SX Expo functions simultaneously as cultural festival, innovation summit and adult industry expo.
The 2026 edition features speakers and participants from companies including sponsors such as Stripchat, Dating Lions and Veriox Technology powered by Concordium, as well as grand partners Kaufmich and Fet App.
Exhibitors include Kaufmich, Fet App, Popcorn, Perlensau, Nadine Glad, bond_free, NSFW PR, Tenga, Orgie Company, FastoPayment, luxylist.it, SextPanther, Tothemoon, Kinkzeit, Naturally Naughty GmbH, Veriox Technologies, LoyalFans, and partners Little Leaf Agency, Kinky-Y and Moonlight Society, among others.
“If you’re curious about sex as a concept, art, creation, product, experience, fetish, kink, business or technology, this is your place. Think Coachella meets TechCrunch ... but for sex,” said Ola Miedzynska, founder of SX Tech EU.
“Kaufmich is supporting SX Festival because, as a platform operating in the industry for more than 20 years, we have witnessed firsthand how the market continues to evolve and transform,” a company rep said. “Like any successful platform, we constantly adapt to changing trends, emerging technologies and innovative solutions. We believe that SX Festival is the ideal place to explore these developments, connect with forward-thinking professionals and help shape the future of intimacy, technology and human connection.”
The event’s opening night, June 26, will feature The SXMA Gala, highlighted by the SX Tech Marketing Awards, a ceremony recognising “the boldest campaigns, most transformative platforms and most disruptive innovations across adult tech and business." Categories include Best Social Media Campaign, Best Creator Platform Collaboration, Best Marketing Agency, and Launch of the Year.
On both Festival days, June 27-28, a schedule of speakers will take the Impact Stage (B2B), Sensual Stage (B2C), Seduction Room and Kinky Garden experience area, addressing “the most pressing operational challenges facing the adult industry today,” the rep said. Sessions are designed for operators, founders, investors and platform builders, and feature executives and specialists from leading companies in the space.
Two dedicated sessions will tackle the industry’s infrastructure issues. Gerardo Martinez of FastoPayments will present a keynote on payment processing realities in the adult sector, while Pedro Pascual of Tothemoon examines “how cryptocurrency is becoming a practical alternative for creator platforms cut off from traditional banking,” the rep added.
“This year, we’ll be showcasing how our CDN-level integration allows platforms to deploy compliant age verification flows in a matter of hours with minimal technical lift. We’re also excited to highlight our partnership with Concordium, whose privacy-first, Ofcom-approved identity technology helps ensure users can verify age securely without unnecessary exposure of personal data,” said a representative for festival sponsor Veriox Technology powered by Concordium.
Researcher and strategist Carly Sheridan also will deliver a keynote on the systemic biases and censorship mechanisms built into AI tools and what that means for adult businesses and creators who depend on them.
A dedicated panel, “One Step Ahead—How Can We Market in an AI Landscape?” will bring together Ashton Egner of Kiiroo, Kathryn Byberg of Little Leaf Agency and Shari Klein of Pleasure Society.
The festival will bring together over 200 adult creators. Speaker and creator Nikki Night, from sponsor Stripchat, also will deliver a keynote on customer acquisition and retention strategies for creator platforms.
“A major focus for Stripchat this year is continuing to grow our presence across key international markets while strengthening relationships with creators and the wider community around the platform," says Daniel Lopez from Stripchat. “We’re excited to be part of SX Tech, meet people across the industry, and support an event that is creating more space for creator focused conversations and networking within the industry.”
Anike Ekina will host an exclusive meet-and-greet session with star Marian Valmont. Reed Amber will also welcome guests to her custom fetish workshop experience.
A Speed Dating session for Business & Technology on Sunday afternoon will give operators and startups structured time to meet potential partners, followed by the expo’s Grand Finale.
The consumer-facing festival program also spans June 27-28 and covers sexual education, live performance, immersive art and community-led discussion. The Sensual Stage hosted by Catherine DeNoire and Calandra Balfour will open Saturday's activities with a panel on “Sober Sex: Building Confidence and Connection Again” featuring Maddie Sin, Miss Masochist and Muse Sacred of Lucid Sober Events.
Other speakers scheduled to appear include Catherine DeNoire, Harpy Fatale, ECCY, Trixie Fox, Hannah Bacon, Lady Solar Divine and Eva Fay across both days.
The Seduction Room hosts two workshops on Saturday, including “Erotic Circuits” by Cristina Dezi of Bruixes Lab, and “Exploring Arousal Beyond the Physical,” an immersive and interactive live experience by Moonlight Society with Marie Morgenstern.
Sunday’s Sensual Stage will feature seminars with Miss Swan, Vita Voliton, La Monstera, Goddess Alanis and Fetisch Barbie, and a hosted meet-and-greet with Marina Valmont of Naked News. On Sunday, Sabrina Verhage and Niki Scheijen also will present “Live-Coded Intimacy,” a live interactive experience merging technology and sensuality.
The Kinky Garden anchors the festival’s performance and art programs across both days. Saturday’s highlights will include workshops and performances by exhibitors including La Monstera with model Icon Fetish, rope artist Kylie Darling, and the Red Moon Heatwave Show featuring Monsters KiNC and Cat Mint.
The night will close with the “Bitter Moon Tarot Experience” by multidisciplinary artist Magdalena Piech. Completing the Saturday program, musician, DJ and performer Anike Ekina, Hamburg-born artist with 1.9 million Instagram followers and 93 million streams, joins the Sensual Stage for a meet-and-greet.
Sunday’s Kinky Garden features a sound bath titled “Frequency of Sexuality,” a performance by Charlie Bouquett and a DJ to close out the expo.
