The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) is an adult entertainment
convention and trade show held each January in Las Vegas, Nevada and is
sponsored by AVN magazine. The AEE is the largest pornography industry
trade show in the United States. The 2007 AVN Expo had over 30,000
attendees, which included 355 exhibiting companies.
Until 2012, the AEE was usually held at the Sands Expo and Convention
Center concurrently with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). In 2012,
the AEE was held at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on January
18–21, one week after the 2012 CES to help exhibitors minimize travel
expenses and maximize networking opportunities.
In 2013, the
15th annual AEE was again held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las
Vegas, and the 2014 AEE was held January 15-18 at the Hard Rock Hotel
and Casino in Las Vegas.
