Internext-Expo, AEE and AVN Awards 2012 at the Hard Rock

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

One of, if not the longest running adult B2B trade shows is AVN’s Internext-Expo and it is returning to Las Vegas, NV this January and PimpsPromo will be there covering all the action. Internext has moved again, this time to the Hard Rock Hotel. It will be a busy week in Las Vegas, with Internext-Expo from January 15-17, followed by Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) and Adult Novelty Expo (ANE) from January 18-21, culminating with the AVN Awards on January 21, 2012.

A look at the Internext-Expo schedule shows that this year will be a lot like last years show in that the “expo” portion of the event has been replaced with seminars, speed networking, workshops and an extended Meet Market.

Sunday is primarily networking opportunities with a golf tournament, a meet market, the YNOT Grand Prix and a party sponsored by Hustler. Monday and Tuesday have schedules beginning at 10:00 AM going on until 4:00 AM. The seminar topics cover such subjects as what to do with your mobile traffic, alternative billing and piracy. The keynote will be delivered by Fabian Thylman, Managing partner of Manwin. (more…)

XBIZ LA and XBIZ Awards are coming up

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

January is typically a pretty busy month for the adult B2B trade show circuit, and January 2012 will be more of the same. XBIZ has moved XBIZ LA and the XBIZ Awards up a month, and they will now be held from January 9-12, 2012. The XBIZ LA show is back at the Sofitel in Hollywood and the 10th Annual XBIZ Awards will be held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

The XBIZ LA schedule looks like there are plenty of educational and networking activities available and PimpsPromo will be there for most of it.

Monday will have the XBIZ LA Golf Tournament and the 12th Annual Cybersocket Web Awards. The Cybersocket Web Awards are always a good time. On Tuesday the show gets started with Speed Networking, then a workshop by Brad Gosse.I am going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably the one session will not want to miss. Brad had a Traffic Master Class last year that was extremely informative for webmasters and program owners alike. This year’s topic is Monetizing Promotional Content, and I look forward to listening and learning. (more…)

2012 Penthouse Pet of the Year Party

Sunday, December 18th, 2011

A few years ago it seemed like every couple of weeks I was going to a Penthouse party in Hollywood, hanging out with a bunch of Pets. Those were some good times, so when my friend Charlie Laine invited me to the 2012 Penthouse Pet of the Year Party, I did not hesitate to accept. The purpose of the party was the introduce the 2012 Penthouse Pet of the Year, Jenna Rose and to give her the Penthouse key necklace. The party was held at the Roxbury in Hollywood, CA.

I got a chance to talk to Jenna and she seems to be a nice girl. I have to admit that I was impressed watching her do an interview with a Mexican television station, primarily in Spanish. I had to laugh when she stopped and said her Spanish “wasn’t that good.” Anyway, it was a good time and nice to meet some of the new Penthouse Pets. Natasha Nice really is.
