Registration Is Now Open for the 2007 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo

Opening Night Industry Party Kicks the Show Off at Vegas Mega-Club Tao

ENCINO, Calif., Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Attendee registration for the 2007 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo is now open, organizers of the show announced today. The 2007 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE), sponsored by Adult Video News and produced by Home Entertainment Events, is scheduled to take place January 10-13, 2007 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Unlike in previous years, AEE will overlap with the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on only two days, Wednesday, January 10 and Thursday, January 11. AEE is not affiliated with CES.

"The 2007 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo will be the best ever for industry insiders and fans," said Janet Gibson, show manager for Home Entertainment Events. "The new Wednesday to Saturday dates speak volumes about the show's strength as a stand-alone event."

Adult industry trade attendees can register for the show by going to http://www.adultentertainmentexpo.com/. Prior to the December 9, 2006 deadline, trade registration will cost $125 per person. For attendees that want to attend the Opening Night Party, a limited number of tickets are available for an additional $60.

"The sold-out 2006 Opening Night Industry Party was such a huge success that we wanted to find the most exclusive and lavish nightspot in Las Vegas to host the 2007 party," said Gibson. "Tao in the Venetian is the most spectacular venue on the Strip and is incredibly convenient for attendees as it is just steps from the Sands Expo Center."

The opening day of the show, Wednesday, January 10, 2007 will be open to trade members only from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Thursday, January 11, 2007, the show will be open to trade members only from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and fan hours will be from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Trade hours on Friday, January 12, 2007 will be from 9 a.m. to noon and fan hours will be from noon to 6 p.m. The show will be open to fan and trade attendees all day on Saturday, January 13, 2007, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
