Topco Signs on As Event Sponsor for ANE

CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Topco Sales has signed on as the latest event sponsor for the upcoming AVN Novelty Expo, taking place Sept. 10-12 at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Topco Sales began in 1973 as a small adult novelty business on Third Street in Los Angeles. The company used technology from the aerospace industry to revolutionize the sex toy market. With a business model based on quality and innovation, Topco Sales became one of the largest sex toy manufacturers and an industry leader in product design and development. Among Topco's many achievements are the creation of the first battery-free, integrated-circuit-operated vibrators and the groundbreaking CyberSkin material, which looks and feels like the real thing. Scott Tucker leads Topco Sales as CEO. The company is headquartered in Chatsworth, Calif., with FDA-approved facilities and one of the largest materials and process research centers in the industry. The manufacturer joins an ever-growing list of sponsors for the premier B2B trade show, including B Swish, Pipedream Products and CalExotics. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Topco Sales as a sponsor for this show,” said Sara Harter, director of sales for AVN Media Network. “Working with them and these other stellar companies on this show has been exciting, and we can’t wait for everyone to come and see what we have in store.” Scheduled for Sept. 10-12 at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and co-located with the International Lingerie Show, ANE is the novelty industry's premier B2B event. For years, hundreds of qualified buyers from around the world have gathered for this pleasure product conference and exhibition, where manufacturers debut new items and buyers make their most important purchasing decisions of the year. This year, the addition of a Luxury Boutique—a new space on the show floor where manufacturers who specialize in high-end products will offer buyers the experience of browsing in an exclusive shop—is a major step in a new direction for the show and participating manufacturers. The Luxury Boutique is sponsored by Je Joue, a manufacturer of award-winning pleasure products, including the G-Ki and the Ami. Buyers who register to attend ANE do so for free. Badges for buyers include entry to the AVN Novelty Expo show floor, admission to the International Lingerie Show, and breakfast and lunch daily. Registration is sponsored by Pipedream Products. The badge also gives buyers the ability to vote in select “O” Awards categories, access to ANE seminars, an invitation to the “O” Awards and seating at the ILS Fashion Show.
