ED Publications has reported that early pre-registration numbers indicate record-setting numbers of adult nightclub owners-particularly the club chain operators-will be attending the 2013 Gentlemen’s Club Owners Expo Aug. 20-22 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
“Expo 2013 is shaping up to be our most well-attended show, perhaps ever, in Expo history,” says Don Waitt, Publisher of ED Publications’ Club Bulletin, the producer of the Expo. “With the theme of this year’s show as ‘Money’-mainly how clubs can make more of it-every owner can understand the advantages of attending this year’s show.”
Already planning on being in Vegas are some of the biggest brands within the adult nightclub industry. Representatives from Rick’s Cabaret, Déjà vu/Hustler, PT’s/VCG, Penthouse, MAL Entertainment, Scores, the Pony Clubs and newcomer Vivid will be showing their support by not only attending the three-day event, but exhibiting and sponsoring as well. Also represented will be the Christie’s Cabaret and the Men’s Club chains.
“By exhibiting, these national chains are showcasing to our more traditional vendors, like Anheuser-Busch and Red Bull, that adult nightclubs have established their own brand identity,” Waitt says. “Along with the other club owners and executives in attendance, vendors will experience even more foot traffic which will only enhance the panel sessions, nightly parties and our Annual ED’s Awards Show.”
The Annual Gentlemen’s Club Owners Expo draws more than 3,000 attendees, including over 1,700 club owners, general managers, and club personnel from individual clubs and club chains. Other Expo attendees include liquor, beer and wine distributors; food and beverage companies; club furnishings and bar products companies; attorneys, architects, club brokers and insurance specialists; and sound, lighting and staging companies.
Expo 2013 attendees can count on three days of must-attend workshops and panel sessions geared toward club owners, general managers and other key club personnel; two days of a 300-booth trade show with vendors offering their latest products and services; two evening parties that are equal parts networking and enjoyable fun; and the 16th Annual ED’s Awards Show at Vegas’ House of Blues, honoring the industry’s top adult nightclubs and entertainers.
