Now in its seventh year, SX Festival & SX Expo blends fetish culture, kink, modern sexuality, nightlife, performance art, and creator culture in a three-day festival that brings together adult creators, fetish performers, sex educators, brands, artists, and lifestyle communities from around the world. The event is presented by SX Tech EU, the Berlin-based company behind six sold-out events across more than ten global markets since 2019. To see the full program, click here

Anike Ekina is a self-made artist, entrepreneur, and performer born in Hamburg in 1984. Known for her blend of dance, pop and EDM, she has accumulated more than 93 million combined streams and social plays and built an audience of 1.9 million on Instagram. 

“Compared to Venus or other classic adult-industry platforms, SX Festival feels like a different caliber. An event that doesn't show the industry in showroom mode, but as what it actually is today: a professional industry with strategy, reach, brands and talent," Ekina said. “I'm at a point in my own career where I'm moving the work out of the corner and into the light: my first live dates as a DJ in June, a new single, and my biography coming out this October. SX Festival is doing the same thing for the industry as a whole. The signal is clear: this industry has grown up, and it's ready to talk about itself in public, on its own terms."

Highlighting the event is the SXMA Gala and the SX Tech Marketing Awards which honors the boldest campaigns, most transformative platforms and most disruptive innovations in adult tech and business, according to the announcement.
