The Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) 2020 is happening this week in Las Vegas, NV. And though AEE — or AVN, as people also say — is arguably the largest tradeshow that happens in our industry, it’s not the only mega, pressure, temptation, stressful, hectic ass business event that will cross your path in a calendar year.
Many people have gone to AEE time and again, and — truth — no matter how many times you go, there’s always some new survival tip or convention hack you can pick up to make life easier. Here’s the thing, though: If even experienced attendees have new things to learn, where does that put first timers and newbies?
Luckily, some more experienced members of the community took time out to share their tips on tradeshow survival. I’ve gathered some of them here for you — because getting informed is my survival skill!
Enjoy, take note and stay safe out there.

A few days after Mistress Alexxxia posted her thread, Allie Awesome made a special note about sobriety and support for and from sober members of the community:
I'm a sober sex worker and I'll be at AVN and InterNext next week. I'm coming up on 5 years so if anyone needs sober support during the week, please feel free to reach out to me. We can go to a Sober Porners meeting together!
