Celebrating Its 50th Show Overall, The Nation’s Largest Adult Event Has Record-Setting Expo in the Windy City
(April 26, 2023 – Rosemont, IL) Three Expo Events, the producers of EXXXOTICA (exxxoticaexpo.com), had this past weekend marked on the calendars for some time. First, it was going to be the 50th EXXXOTICA the tradeshow production company would be producing since 2006. It was also the first show of 2023 for them, which followed the strongest year yet for the nation’s largest adult event. And last, not least, when advance ticket sales were trending, 50, 60 and 70-percent higher than last year, and when the exhibit floor’s last booth space was sold, expectations were at an all new high. And When doors opened Friday night for EXXXOTICA at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, even with the forecast of advance sales, no one anticipated just how big it would, or should we say, could be. But it was bigger than ever!
An all-star roster of adult’s top stars, creators, influencers and companies went into EXXXOTICA Chicago, presented by MyFreeCams (myfreecams.com), rolled into Rosemont to help celebrate the historic achievement and braced themselves for the throngs of men, women and couples who came to celebrate love and sex. But even with the trending numbers of advance ticket sales climbing, no one expected the crowds to be as large as they were.
With a Friday night crowd that was the largest of any day, for any city, in the 50-show history of EXXXOTICA, the weekend continued to crush it, with an all-new record set for the most attendees ever for the adult expo for any of the dozen or so cities where the expo has landed.
Tens of thousands came to meet their favorite stars. EXXXOTICA pulled out all the stops this show to bring in the past, present and future of adult such as Lisa Ann, Stormy Daniels, Tera Patrick, Violet Myers, Adriana Chechik, Katie Morgan, Alexis Texas, Lexi Belle, Alex Coal, Evan Stone, Joanna Angel, Small Hands, Reya Sunshine, Rocky Emerson, April O’Neil, Nikki Dial, RubberDoll, Christy Canyon, Barrett Blade, the Double Dose Twins, Ember Snow, Vicki Chase, Ginger Lynn, Micky Lynn, Misty Stone, Spencer Bradley, Lacy Lennon, Kenzie Taylor, Kazumi, Jada Stevens, Rebel Rhyder, Christiana, Cinn, Lily Lou, Abigaiil Morris, Sammy Torres, Kiki Klout, Marina Valmont, Jessie Saint, Lauren Phillips, and even wrestling legend Rob Van Dam and Katie Forbes. There were hundreds more cam models, Internet stars, content creators and influencers hosted by companies like Loyal Fans, MyFreeCams, Chaturbate, Tadpole Studios, Galaxy Publicity, Elite Talent Direct and more. The Spotlight booth, sponsored by Loyal Fans (loyalfans.com), hosted over two-dozen stars at their booth, but that was just one stop for fans who packed the convention center.
The EXXXOTICA Entertainment Stage, sponsored by Chaturbate (chaturbate.com), featured an amazing lineup highlighted by feature dance performances by fan favorites such as RubberDoll, the Stallion Male Revue, Reya Sunshine, Christiana Cinn, as well as performances by Angela Eve, Claire Fae, Circuit Mom, She is Hera, Femme Fenix , iHeartBBW Fashion Show, and others. There was also the Team Texass twerk contest which drew a jam-packed crowd to see Alexis Texas getting those booties to shake, as well as the crowning of a new Ms. EXXXOTICA and the Pole Dance Championship title.
EXXXOTICA’s Seminar Series, sponsored by Bad Dragon (bad-dragon.com), hosted standing room only crowds for seminars led by the show’s resident sexpert and lauded educator, Tyomi Morgan, as well as a roster of entertaining speakers ranging from educators to entertainers. Over 40 seminars took place in the multiple areas with topics such as swinging, BDSM, finding the right sex toys, how cannabis can improve your love life and book readings and musings by legends like Lisa Ann, Katie Morgan and Evan Stone.
The CouplesX Lifestyle Experience, sponsored by Kasidie.com hosted more couples than ever who came to learn more about the lifestyle as well as meet other like-minded folks who were just like them. And EXXXOTICA’s Dungeon Experience was filled from start to finish with folks who wanted to learn more about the world of BDSM and learn how to play safe as they take a walk on the kinky side. In fact, the show’s new Dungeon All-Access VIP program sold out of tickets before the doors even opened.
The show’s Official VIP After parties all around the Chicagoland area kept the sexy party going until last call. Whether fans went to top gentlemen’s club like Heavenly Bodies to check out all-star lineups featuring hosts Violet Myers and Alexis Texas with performances by Reya Sunshine and Ember Show, or checked out other spots such as Rick’s Cabaret, Club 390 and Blackjacks to catch feature shows by Lauren Phillips, Katie Morgan, Christiana Cinn or Rubberdoll. EXXXOTICA’s host hotel also had sold out celebrations both nights with adult legends Lisa Ann and Tera Patrick along with the stars from Chaturbate.
“This one will be tough to top!” mused J. Handy, the creator and Event Director of EXXXOTICA. “We can’t thank all of the sponsors, stars, companies, and especially the fans for helping cement our place as the top adult event in the country. But we’ll always try to keep EXXXOTICA growing, and you never know what’s going to come next. It’s been a wild ride, but we’re excited for the rest of this year and many years to come.
