AVN Adult Entertainment Expo 2027 - adult entertainment show

AVN Expo (AVN Adult Entertainment Expo) is the adult entertainment industry trade show held every January in Las Vegas. According to the organiser, it is the largest and longest-running annual show in the industry. Its business side brings together the whole chain, from studios and platforms to adult product manufacturers and retailers. The show is run by AVN Media Network at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

How AVN Expo is organised

• AVN Expo Floor (AEE) is the main exhibition, with booths of studios, platforms and content creators. It is open all four days to industry professionals and to ticketed fans, strictly 18+.
• ANE (Adult Novelty Expo) is the B2B show for adult products, where vendors meet buyers. It runs for the first three days and is open to registered industry members only.
