Today was the second day of Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention 2012 and it was even more impressive today. There were definitely more adult webmasters there today, which was a pleasant surprise. Even though today was billed as a B2C event with some meet and greets with a couple porn stars, it was really tailored to adult webmasters and those that wanted to learn more about the process.

The day started with an interview by Colin Rowntree from Wasteland with Christian Mann from Evil Angel Video. That was followed by a Webmaster 101 panel and a workshop on Producing Porn From Start to Finish put on by Girlfriends Films. The education portion of the day ended with a panel on XXX Domains and the future of the Adult Industry, featuring Diane Duke of the FSC and Vaughn Liley of ICM. This was followed by the Adult Entertainment Virtual Awards and After Party. The show goes on for one more day, so if you are not doing anything, stop on by. (more…)

Today was day one of the first ever adult entertainment virtual convention, appropriately named the same, AEVC. The event is hosted by Red Light Center and sponsored by Cam Contacts, XBIZ, Vstroker, Loki Cash, YNOT, Sexxxtons, Girlfriends Films, Pornstar Tweet and Melonson Adult Productions. The first day was the B2B event and included an opening address by Stephen Yagielowicz, Senior Editor of XBIZ; as well as topical seminars on the role of social media in adult entertainment, laws you need to know about and strategies on monetizing virtual world and gaming websites.

As it was the first day of the first virtual convention of any type for some people, there were some issues with figuring out how to get where you need to be, some audio breakdowns and freezing of the software, but for free, it was a minor inconvenience. Saturday and Sunday will be the B2C portion of the show and judging by the booths I saw today, the vendors ware ready to wow them. Even though it is billed as B2C for the next two days, there are plenty of informational panels happening on both days that are targeting adult webmasters. Like I said, registration is free, so check it out. It is better than going out in the snow and cold anyway. (more…)

These photos are of the 29th Annual AVN Awards, held January 21, 2012 at The Joint, in the Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas. The show was hosted by Dave Attell, and co-hostesses Sunny Leone and Bree Olson. The event started with Belladonna performing her Cirque du Bella aerial silk acrobatics routine. It was quite impressive. The show was entertaining and the winners were genuinely happy to win. If there was an academy to thank, there is no question it would have been done. AVN is to be congratulated for a fine event.
