Burbank, CA / February 6, 2024 – In a strategic move to enhance the overall experience and impact of the Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo (ANME), organizers have decided to transition the event to an annual occurrence, exclusively taking place in July, starting this year. This decision follows careful consideration of industry dynamics and the desire to consolidate efforts for a larger and more impactful gathering. This year’s event will be held July 15-17, 2024.
Historically hosted biannually in January and July, ANME will now focus on a singular, extended event in July, allowing participants to fully capitalize on the opportunities presented at a consolidated and comprehensive showcase.
The decision to shift to an annual format was motivated by a commitment to elevate the ANME experience amidst an ever-changing industry landscape. By concentrating efforts on one expansive event, ANME aims to create a focal point for innovation, networking, and business development within the adult novelty sector.
“The July ANME show is THE show to attend. It brings together the best of the best in the world of pleasure products for a fun and prosperous event. This year’s summer show will be better than ever, with more exhibitors and more opportunities for business growth. We encourage everyone to register early to secure their spot!” said Susan Colvin, Founder and CEO of CalExotics.
“We are all excited to see this renowned and well-attended summer event evolve into an even more beneficial showcase for vendors and buyers of pleasure products as we move into 2024,” said Elliott Schwartz, Co-Founder and CEO of Nasstoys.
“We are looking forward to welcoming exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees to the enhanced ANME Experience and to collectively shaping the future of our industry,” said Chad Braverman, President & COO of Doc Johnson.
