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.

The adult B2B event was billed as being held September 23-25, but the only thing going on the 25th was the double-decker bus tour. There were two days of the actual show.

This was my first visit to London, so I was unaware that I needed to arrive at the airport a good 12 hours before my first appointment. Unbelievable. Gatwick has to be the slowest airport I have ever been through. Combine that with the distance factor, and suffice it to say I missed the speed networking and lunch the first day. By the time I arrived at the venue hotel, the Radisson Edwardian Bloomsbury, the seminars had begun. Read the rest of this entry »
