The Annual EXPO features:
• A three-day conference and tradeshow for the adult nightclub (strip club) industry with more than 2,000 attendees

Each time we poll attendees for the number-one reason why they come to the Annual Gentlemen’s Club EXPO, the answer that comes back more often than any other is, “To see old friends, meet new ones, and come together as an industry.” It’s the one time of year the entire adult nightclub industry comes together for three days of business and pleasure. From the Tradeshow to the seminars to the ACE National meeting to the parties, there are many networking opportunities at EXPO for everyone who makes their living in the adult nightclub industry. If you’ve never been, it’s almost a guarantee that “networking” is the reason why you’ll keep coming back. It’s an opportunity you won’t find anywhere else, ever!
The Annual Gentlemen's Club EXPO helps educate the industry with informative seminars and panel sessions, but also allows club owners/operators, club staff, and industry pros to do business, as companies exhibit products and services designed for this industry in the Tradeshow. But of course, this is the adult nightclub industry, and the parties and private events are just as much a part of the convention as the seminars and tradeshow. Plus, for the first time ever, the ED Awards Show is FREE for all registered attendees! Get the valuable information you need and have a great time doing it — how could you miss that opportunity?!
What better place to host EXPO 2021 than in South Florida, perhaps the number-one adult nightclub market in the world! Sunshine and ocean views will greet all EXPO 2021 attendees at the InterContinental Downtown Miami hotel, the host site of this year's convention. This beautiful hotel is just a stone's throw from the famed South Beach, not to mention dozens of amazing clubs that lie within just a few miles of this year's EXPO. This year's EXPO is part convention, part vacation. And all-access EXPO badges are buy-one-get-one for half-price!

Reserve your booth before they sell outThe backbone of the Annual EXPO is the Tradeshow which runs on days one and two (Monday and Tuesday) of the EXPO; with management workshops, panel sessions, and evening events all three days: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
The EXPO 20/21 Tradeshow will be held May 24 & 25 on the Mezzanine level (2nd floor) of the InterContinental Hotel Miami, surrounding a beautiful Atrium looking down on the first-floor lobby. The second floor is easily accessed by stairs and an escalator from the first floor, and also by the guest room elevators. Each pipe-and-draped booth includes a six-foot table, two chairs, a small sign, and two EXPO badges. Booths in "Tradeshow Main" are 10-by-10; booths in "Tradeshow Foyer" and "Tradeshow Atrium" are 8-by-10 (10 feet wide and 8 feet deep). Prices are the same, and in both cases, the floor is carpeted.
The Tradeshow hours are 2-6 pm Monday, May 24, and 1-5 pm Tuesday, May 25.
Booth set-up is 8 am-2 pm Monday, May 24 (larger booths can do some set-up after 5 pm Sunday).
Booth tear-down is 5-9 pm Tuesday, May 25, and 9 am-noon Wednesday, May 26.
In keeping with the industry that we cover, there is a very casual, party-like atmosphere to the Tradeshow—think cocktails, music and constant activity throughout. To reserve your Tradeshow booth space, please call Kris Kay at the ED Publications offices at (727) 726-3592.
