from www.exhibitoronline.com – Despite facing the most-challenging economy since World War II, the 2010 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) is experiencing strong attendee registration and exhibitor sales, show organizers announced today.

According to Home Entertainment Events, trade registration is up 120% from the same period last year while fan registration has increased a phenomenal 222%, and more than 100 exhibitors – including the major adult studios – are already confirmed to be in attendance.

AEE will be held at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada from Thursday, January 7 thru Sunday, January 10, 2010 and is sponsored by AVN Media Network and produced by Home Entertainment Events. Trade and fan attendees can now register at www.AdultEntertainmentExpo.com.

“While AEE, and practically every other trade show, saw declines in attendance in 2009 due to the struggling economy, we are rebounding nicely for 2010,” declared show spokesperson Sean Devlin. “We’re all tired of bailouts, foreclosures, and layoffs. It’s time to party again.”

“The fan and trade loyalty to AEE is a testament to the remarkable programming that is unique to AEE,” said Paul Fishbein, President of AVN Media Network.

“The Expo showcases the largest collection of adult products and exhibitors, and offers a comprehensive selection of seminars designed purposely for our trade attendees. Additionally, the fans can come face-to-face with their favorite adult stars in the most exciting venue in the world. AEE thrives because it continues to deliver.”
