Gentlemen,
I’m taking the lead on potentially organizing the official annual EA Members gathering pending the level of interest from the group. As many of you remember, last year’s informal member meetups during AVN week were a major success. With AVN 2026 dates and location now officially announced, I’d like to gauge interest in making AVN 2026 the official yearly EA Members gathering.
I believe AVN offers a prime opportunity to connect. Not only is the Expo itself a major industry event, but it also draws providers from around the world, multiple fan and studio-sponsored events (gangbangs), and even includes special appearances from our favorite Tryst Agency, which committed last year to hosting its own recurring annual event during AVN.
Here’s a concept I’ve been brainstorming:
Official EA Event Date:
Monday, January 19, 2026
Location: Las Vegas, Casino TBD
Proposed Schedule:
1. EA Members Networking Gathering
Time: 1:00 PM
Venue: Large luxury Suite
Details: A casual but catered and bartended afternoon where Members can meet, network, and share stories of their endeavors. We’ll also host a luxury raffle to add some fun and value.
2. EA Evening Entertainment Event
Time: 8:00 PM
Details: An evening gathering with adult-themed entertainment. The format is still open and would depend on Members’ preferences. Here are two ideas to consider:
Option 1: Provider Q&A Panel
We invite several providers to join us for a live panel discussion. They’ll engage with us directly, offering insights into etiquette, expectations, and how we as clients can enhance our experiences. This would be a respectful, informative, and entertaining session fully catered and bartended. King and I would moderate to ensure a smooth flow.
Option 2: Private Strip Show
We invite local dancers to perform a group show followed by optional private dances (at Members’ own cost). This would also be a catered event; however, to ensure the comfort and safety of the entertainers, no alcohol would be served.
Personally, I lean toward Option 1. I believe it presents a unique and meaningful opportunity to interact with providers on a level that goes beyond the norm. That said, Option 2 could be a fun and relaxed alternative. I’ve intentionally left out more explicit group activities, as it’s likely Tryst Agency and others will be hosting those types of events during the week.
Why January 19th?
Hosting our official event on Monday allows Members to plan the rest of their week attending AVN-related events, scheduling provider sessions, and exploring the Expo. Flights to Vegas tend to be affordable, especially when booked early, and while many hotels are blocking dates until closer to the event, it’s never too early to start planning.
Next Steps:
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Is this something you’d like to see happen officially, or should we leave it up to individuals to coordinate their own meetups? Your input is valuable—please share your opinions respectfully. If we make this an official EA event there would me a moderate cost involved per individual depending on group size and entertainment selection.
Looking forward to hearing from you all.
