What is the Internext
Expo?
From the website here
(http://www.internext-expo.com)
this event is described as: "The world's largest Adult Internet/Audiotext
tradeshow. Widely acclaimed as 'The Industry Networking Event,' Internext
is the place for individuals and companies who operate adult websites
to form business-to-business alliances with other sites and / or service
providers."
Held in Las Vegas,
NV. at the Sands Expo Center, this was the first time Gene X and I traveled
to this event, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Admission is pricey
($150 per person for the 3 day expo) but as a webmaster, it's definitely
worth it.
Part 1: THE EXPO
The
first thing that impressed me is the size of the event and the elaborate
exhibits from the vendors. The largest displays were from the affiliate
programs (places that pay money for the annoying pop up ads at adult sites)
and content providers (producers of adult pictures and videos who sell
their content to other webmasters). There were many other vendors there
to display new technologies, web hosting services and other products.
For the female muscle
lover out there, I had a chance to see some promising new technology.
The webcams are improving and I think that webcams are good for individual
bodybuilding girls who are interested in generating some extra income
from their paysites. Of particular interest to me was 'VOD' technology,
or Video on Demand. If you have broadband connection, you can rent or
buy FULL LENGTH videos (1 or 2 hours) that can be downloaded to your computer
or television at DVD quality. The demonstration I saw was amazing and
I will definitely bring you more information about how you will be able
to get FTV videos this way soon.
Here some pictures
to look at. (NOTE: This site is not
about nudity as there are plenty of other websites to see that. I want
ftvideo.com to be a website that all ages can view)
Several views of the
Expo itself:
At most bodybuilding
or fitness Expos, the only free thing you get are squares of awful tasting
protien bars, but the Internext Expo, your treated like a king:
