AVN Showcasing Hottest, Newest Pleasure Products To Media

LAS VEGAS—The AVN Novelty Expo will showcase the top sex toys of 2016 at a private, media-only cocktail hour. The event, a first for ANE, will be 3-5 p.m. Friday, January 22, at Body English, located inside The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas. Media will have the opportunity to enjoy cocktails and be introduced to the hottest adult toys and novelties that will be released in 2016. "Every year we have media from all over the world who attend our show, and they always ask what will be the next big thing in sex toys, what is the next trend for pleasure products and what are the hottest, newest items?" said Sherri L. Shaulis, senior editor of pleasure products for AVN. "This year, we decided to invite some of the top companies to showcase their best products in one spot, so all of the media questions can be answered at one time, in one place." Scheduled to participate in the media-only cocktail hour are Tantus, CalExotics, Doc Johnson, Evolved Novelties, and many more. The relaxed atmosphere—away from the hustle and bustle of the traditional show floor—will allow for more intimate discussions and better product demonstrations. “Many mainstream press outlets—Wired, Cosmo and more—constantly create lists that feature sex toys,” Shaulis said. “Sometimes the lists are related by category—the best fetish toys, or the top tech toys—and sometimes they are created around a theme—Valentine’s Day, Christmas, and so on. With this event, media outlets can make contact with the creators of the leading pleasure products, see the items up close and personal and come up with story and list ideas for the entire year, all at one time and in one place.” ANE brings together the latest and greatest items from a wide range of cutting-edge companies. Toys, lingerie, lotions and potions, supplements, gifts, games, sex furniture, cosmetics, condoms, aphrodisiacs, accessories, and so much more will be on display—many that you will not find anywhere else. More companies debut their new products at ANE than any other trade event, so this is the place where business gets done. Those holding a media badge will be allowed entrance for this exclusive event. Attendance is first come, first served, so media are advised to arrive early in order to guarantee entrance.
