AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and Awards 2012

The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) is a trade show held each January in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is sponsored by the Adult Video News Magazine (AVN). The 2012 Expo is planned to be held at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on January 18–21, one week after the 2012 CES.

The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo mixes industry only events with open hours for fans seeking the usual autographs, pictures, and memorabilia. One of the major aspects of the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo is that most of the major adult entertainment stars make appearances. The first two days of the show are considered “Trade Only”. During these times only people in the adult industry can gain access to the show.

The AVN Awards are movie awards sponsored and presented by the American adult video industry trade magazine AVN (Adult Video News) to honor exceptional performance in various aspects of the creation and marketing of American pornographic movies. They are called the “Oscars of porn”. The AVN Awards are divided into nearly 100 categories, some of which are analogous to industry awards offered in other film and video genres, and others that are specific to pornographic/erotic film and video. The 2012 AVN Awards will close out the 2012 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo on January 21, 2011.
