The Novelty Expo will feature, 250 Innovative Brands, 30 Workshops & Seminars and 20 Networking Events. Beyond perusing the latest dildo or maybe scoring an autograph with one of many adult stars walking the floor, there will be talks over copyrights in the adult space, how cam performers can better their income and how toy makers can better sell their products. The general view (at least as we see it shown across Spike TV) is that the real action at AVN happens after dark, and at the raucous awards show, which takes place on the 27th. But all that one can learn during the day should not be missed. Lots of deals are made on that main exposition floor as well as business relationships solidified and established.

Happening this Thursday @ The SupperClub L.A. (6675 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028) is the first ever All Porn Star Fashion Show & Auction of SuperHero Collectible Costumes, Movie Props, Sex Toys and Baci Lingerie. Hosted by the Free Speech Coalition-the leading non profit trade association for the adult entertainment and pleasure products industry-the FSC After Dark, Capes & Panties event will be a once-in-a-lifetime porn star fashion show and auction to support free speech.
