The third annual Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention, AEVC 2014, began Wednesday morning and immediately presented those involved in the internet marketing of adult products with informative presentations and workshops. The day began with a workshop on mobile marketing followed by the opening address by Brian Shuster, Red Light Center CEO. The day continued with a Q & A with Ryan Bagshaw of Gay Hot Movies, and a marketing panel presented by Jo Merlone and Jay Kopita. There was also a panel on the future of the industry featuring Jennifer McEwen, Brian Shuster, Brad Mitchell, Toon Timmermans and Douglas Richter which was moderated by Stephen Yagielowicz.

This is a four day virtual trade show with the first two days being set aside for industry professionals. Besides having informative discussions, the thing I like the best is that even if you cannot take the time to play the virtual world game you can at least turn it on and listen. You never know what you might learn. On schedule for Thursday is a Keynote Address With John Stagliano hosted by Colin Rowntree which I already know will be entertaining, but there are also workshops and panels covering social media, porn politics, how to write a press release and another state of the industry panel by different people with different perspectives. You can download the program and get more information on the AEVC 2014 website. (more…)

These pictures are from day four of the second annual Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention which was designated as “Fan Day” for the final day of the four day virtual trade show. Wednesday and Thursday were the B2B days, with Friday being the B2C day. As the day was concentrated on the fans, the day started off with a Q & A with adult star James Deen. This was followed by several Meet & Greets with various adult porn celebrities including Sabrina Deep (who pretty much gave a free hour long cam show); BDSM Cam Goddess, Vivica Delicious; and the Princess of Porn Seka. There was also a “Domination & Submission 101” presentation by Kelsey Obsession with her husband stopping by to help demonstrate.

The day ended with the 2013 Adult Entertainment Virtual Awards; hosted Patrick Maliha and Samantha Mack, and the Adult Entertainment Virtual Awards After Party featuring The Porn Star DJ: Helly Mae Hellfire. Everyone seemed to have a good time and over the course of the last few days a lot of information was provided to the attendees.

These images are from Friday, day three of the second annual Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention, AEVC 2013. Friday was the third day of the four day virtual convention and was designated as the B2C day. Since AEVC 2013 is being held in the Red Light Center and it is very extensive with many areas I have yet to stumble upon, I can not really say that I noticed where all the consumers were hanging out, but I did see numbers of upwards of 2,700 people there, so I guess there was a larger crowd than the days prior. I noticed that the Meet & Greet Hour with the Princess of Porn, Seka, seemed to be pretty active.

On the education side, there were three seminars/panels. The day started with a “Legal Update and a Look Forward” presentation by Greg Piccionelli, Esq.; followed by “The Digital Age of Adult Entertainment: A Look at the Future” with Greg Clayman, Brian Shuster, Douglas Richter, Quentin Boyer and Kim Nielsen. Moderated by Greg Piccionelli, Esq and “The World’s Oldest Profession goes Virtual: A WG Panel Discussion” with Eros, Saphyre Rose, Vamp White Dove and Elle St.Claire. Moderated by Anna Lee. The evening ended with the Wasteland/Sssh.com party.

Saturday will be the fan show with an awards show later in the afternoon. It is free to attend, so if it is too cold to go outside, you might want to check it out. You can register at http://www.redlightcenter.com/conventions/aevc2013/RegisterToAttend.aspx (more…)
