The adult webmaster event, The Phoenix Forum 2014 is officially underway and hard as it may be to believe, this may be the biggest and best yet. Congregating once again at the Tempe Mission Palms hotel, the day consisted of seminars and panels, Speed Networking, beer and wings at Hooters and the opening party in the courtyard. After giving people some time to have dinner the evening struck up again with the night events such as the Cybersocket Kickoff Party at Rula Bula and the late night suite parties complete with strippers and poker. All in all, the day was made up of education, networking and plenty of parties.

Friday will include more of the same but with lunch and the meet market thrown in for good measure. This will give all the attendees to meet the sponsors of this event. The photos this year are sponsored by merchant payment processor, Mobius Payments and award winning web host, MojoHost. (more…)

Saturday, March 1 was day four of the third annual Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention and the virtual trade show switched up from being primarily a B-to-B event to a B-to-C event as the days was focused on porn stars and their fans.

The day consisted primarily of live cam shows, workshops and Meet & Greets featuring such performers as Audrey Hollander, Tasha Reign, Kelsey Obsession, Jimmy Durano, Stoya and Nicole Aniston. The day ended with the Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention Awards 2014 hosted by Patrick Maliha and Samantha Mack and the AEVC 2014 Awards After Party.

This was the third time I have participated in this event and it appears that it is gaining credibility as the number of attendees increases as well as the quality of the speakers and exhibitors improving. The new site design of Red Light Center seemed to make it a little easier to navigate this time. I look forward to seeing what they have in store next year. (more…)

This screenshots are from day three of the Third Annual Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention, AEVC 2014. It was another day of seminars and workshops with the theme slanting more towards those that are content rather than producers and marketers. The day started with Greg Piccionelli discussing crowd funding in virtual worlds and continued with such topics as pay-per-click best practices for the adult industry, how to make money in today’s market and what to expect from a PR company. There was also a Q&A session with Tera Patrick and a seminar on the art of sex with Tyomi Morgan.

Saturday will be the “fan day” for AEVC 2014 and will feature several Meet & Greets with various porn stars. The day will culminate with the Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention Awards 2014 hosted by Patrick Maliha and Samantha Mack followed by the AEVC 2014 Awards After Party. (more…)
