Will AVN’s AEE Tank?

I’ve spoken to a few people who recently returned from Florida where they attended the Expo Mart. By all reports, it was a smashing success! Some industry insiders are saying they met buyers they’ve never met and, while this is about to sound like I have things in the wrong order, deals were hatched and consumated by many.

Interestingly, a common thread I’ve heard involves AVN’s annual, Vegas-venue, AEE show. By all reports, many of Expo Mart’s attendees were saying their companies aren’t going to participate in next year’s AEE. It seems the cost hasn’t justified the benefits in recent years. Many of them were especially dissapointed with last year’s event. Fewer companies will mean fewer girls and fewer girls will mean fewer fans and looky-loos.

I guess we’ll all have to wait and see what happens. It’s still almost a year away, certainly enough time for AVN to take a look at what its been doing to meet the needs of participants and what it might do to keep these many companies attending their convention.
