Furthering a theme I have touched on before in this column, the sex industry, if you happen to be ‘in it,’ interested ‘in it’ or might be looking to get ‘in it,’ below are a list of a few of the happenings you might want to attend have you the interest to network or take a class or two. Even if you have a passing interest and just want to rub shoulders (or whatever else) with a porn star, pick-up some swag, attend a seminar on spanking techniques, the list below might get you on your way for the summer and a little beyond.

CYBERNET EXPO-Held in San Francisco (other than NYC, is there really any other city with such naughty cool?) this three-day event features B2B networking, seminars and late-night parties. With just what might be the best vibe I have ever felt from business people, the overall theme of Cybernet is networking in such a positive way that everyone comes away helping everyone else. July 8th-10th at the Golden Gateway Hotel.  http://cybernetexpo.com/

FLOATING WORLD-The 4th year of this NJ convention, FW’s mission is to “build community and provide education, while giving space for our presenters to push boundaries and explore new topics.” This year’s lineup of presenters includes local talent alongside some of the best “internationally-recognized educators.” A great weekend to take some pictures and grab a few autographs of your favorite stars as well as conduct some business and learn the ropes (figuratively and literally) of the industry this side of the Mississippi. At the massive New Jersey Convention and Exposition center in Raritan NJ.  August 20-22. http://www.thefloatingworld.org/
