Internext Online Registration Closes Jan. 5

OK, procrastinators: It’s time to take action if you want to ensure smooth badge retrieval at the Internext Expo registration counter. Friday, Jan. 5, is the last day attendees can register online for the digital adult industry’s largest trade show.

The on-site registration opportunity will begin Jan. 14 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.

According to Carolyn Wang, director of event sales for Internext, the exhibits floor has been sold to capacity for quite some time, as have the special “deal-making” suites that surround it. The exhibits and suites should provide quite an education for attendees this year, she noted, as companies both old and new plan to unveil new products, new technology, and new moneymaking opportunities almost across the board. Live video-chat provider VS Media, for example, plans to unveil a revamped affiliate program and exciting new technology. Affiliate program PussyCash’s plans are top secret, but Affiliate Program Manager Adam S. promised they’ll be “awesome.” Internet payment service provider Epoch will launch version 2.0, which Communications Director Rand Pate said is “an all-encompassing, major upgrade” to the company’s products and services.

“We’re very excited about the upcoming show,” Wang said. “The changes we’ve made to Internext will be evident in every aspect of the event, from the intimate show floor to the expanded educational program. New features such as the keynote address, ‘Industry Legends’ panel, and the live adult domain auction are bound to help make this one of the most memorable Internext events in recent years.”

Particularly noteworthy this year, if the buzz surrounding the event is any indication, is Internext’s thoroughly redesigned educational program. Called “ Business Building Blocks,” it will offer traditional seminars as well as brand-new classes and workshops. The classes and workshops represent intensive, hands-on learning opportunities in small groups, affording participants unprecedented interaction with experts from within and outside the adult industry.

“This year’s education program has been completely upgraded,” said Internext Expo Marketing Manager Phi LeQuoc, who adopted a very intense, personal approach to that part of the program. “Not only do we have the seminar series, but we’ve also included classroom sessions and intensive workshops to offer attendees the most comprehensive learning experience. You’ll not want to miss this opportunity, as the education program is included in your all-access pass!”

All-access passes are $300 and include access to the exhibits floor and suites, as well as all educational, networking, and business-building opportunities, daily brunches, and happy hours.

Also included in the comprehensive program for the event are a keynote address by Playboy Entertainment Inc. Executive Vice President Joe Lakey; a closing address by Marty Klein, author of America’s War on Sex: The Attack on Law, Lust & Liberty; and a first-of-its kind, live, domain-name auction hosted by the AVN Media Network and domain registrar Moniker.

Internext Expo will take place Jan. 15-17 in Las Vegas. PussyCash and Epoch are premier sponsors of the event.
