These images are from day two of the second annual Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention (AEVC 2013), which is being held online at the Red Light Center. Thursday was the second day of the B2B portion of the show and there were plenty of panel discussions to keep any online marketer in the adult industry interested. The day started with a Keynote Address by Diane Duke which was hosted by Colin Rowntree. Among the topics they discussed was the current status of 2257 and Measure B. Additional panels included “PR and Branding Strategies for the Adult Market” with Brian Gross, Quentin Boyer, Jules Jordan and Lauren McEwen which was moderated by Dan Miller; and the “State of the Industry” with Brian Shuster, Diane Duke, Colin Rowntree and Greg Piccionelli and moderated by Alec Helmy.

Friday will be the first day of the B2C portion of the show, so it will be interesting to see how much the attendance rises. They announced that on day one they had 2,000 industry people at least login and check it out. I know last year many people seemed skeptical about an adult virtual convention; but it seems once they actually visit the show they discover that there is definitely value in attending. It is free, so feel free to register for AEVC 2013 and see for yourself. You might be surprised. (more…)

These photos are from day one of the second annual Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention (AEVC), which was held today (Wednesday) at the Red Light Center. AEVC is a four day affair and is not unlike AVN’s Adult Entertainment Expo in that the first two days are strictly B2B; with day three being B2C and day four, Saturday, being the fan day.

Today included a Welcome Address by Stephen Yagielowicz of XBIZ; followed by a basic but informative SEO tutorial presented by Wright Williams. Panel discussions included “Social Media and Branding: A Performer’s Perspective” with Kelly Shibari, Sinnamon Love, Jayden Cole and Nicole Aniston. That was followed by an interesting perspective in “Virtual Sex: How the Pros Do It!” with Jason “Loki” Smith, Christian Amico, Tony Lupidi, Brad Abrams and Max Bapstist. It really was an informative day.

One of the nice things about the virtual convention concept is that I can listen to the speakers without having to watch; so I can multitask. You should check it out. You can register for free and check out the schedule on the Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention website. You will be glad you did.

These photos are from the 30th Annual AVN Awards show, held January 19, 2013 in The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. The adult industry event, which rewards the finest in the world of adult video entertainment was hosted by porn stars, Asa Akira and Jesse Jane; and was co-hosted by comedienne April Macie. There was musical entertainment provided by Tyga and an aerial acrobatics performance by Cirque du Soleil’s Zumanity. And of course, there was a lot of [porn] talent on and off the stage.

AVN is to be congratulated for providing 30 years of adult video entertainment and for putting on a great show. Considering the fan expo was being held in The Joint just a couple hours before the awards show started, it was a pretty impressive fete. A complete list of the 2013 AVN Awards winners can be found on AVN.com.

I would like to thank AVN for the making the past week an enjoyable one and thank you to search.xxx for sponsoring the photos from the Adult Entertainment Expo and the AVN Awards. (more…)
