2026 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo
The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo is the chance for you to meet more than 5,000 stars from the adult industry.
The 28th edition of the longest running annual adult expo will feature five separate events—the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE), Adult Novelty Expo (ANE), GayVN Awards Show, “O” Awards and the 43rd annual AVN Awards Show—in a complete takeover of the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
The full week of festivities will bring together a world-class gathering of adult stars and content creators along with more than 500 brands presenting the latest innovations and newest products in the industry.
“We’re already working on making the 2026 AVN Show the best one we’ve ever done,” said AVN Media Network CEO Tony Rios. “We can’t wait to welcome the fans of adult entertainment and our friends and colleagues from around the world back to the AVN Show at this amazing property.”
The AVN Expo will kick off the week, hosting an unprecedented range of exhibitors, exclusive events, comprehensive seminar track and countless networking opportunities at the state-of-the-art destination.
The Expo will set the stage for the most anticipated night in adult entertainment—the AVN Awards Show—on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026. The AVN Awards Show will continue the industry’s most iconic tradition, recognizing outstanding achievements in areas of content production, retail and product innovations in the past year.
Likewise, the GayVN Awards will return to celebrate the best performers, creators and productions in gay adult entertainment with a red-carpet ceremony on Jan. 22, 2026.
And ANE—a B2B experience that is only open to qualified industry members—will once again attract the top vendors and buyers from around the world for three days of exhibits, interactive workshops and educational sessions Jan. 21-23.
The Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, part of Curio Collection by Hilton, features over 1,500 rooms and suites, a dozen top-tier restaurants and bars, live entertainment venues, a premier casino, exclusive spa and a five-acre pool complex with a beach club.
