The first night of the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE), Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2007, will feature an industry party at Tao inside the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Wicked Pictures, Zero Tolerance and New Sensations will be the premier sponsors of the event, which is set to run from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.

'All three companies just wanted to come together and do something for our customers,' Wicked Pictures owner Steve Orenstein told AVN.com, 'and we look at this party as a way to do that. We also thought it would be great to coordinate together with the show itself on the party.

Orenstein explained that the three companies will additionally be sponsoring a VIP area within the party in an effort to 'just make it a better experience.'

Wicked Pictures, Zero Tolerance and New Sensations/Digital Sin also acted as the premier sponsors for last year's AEE opening-night party.

'People can join the most complete gathering of key retailers and industry leaders in the adult entertainment business for a night of networking,' organizers added.

Vivid, Penthouse, Hustler, Pleasure Productions, Hotmovies.com, Bang Bros., Northstar, IVD and Newport Distributing have joined the event as participating sponsors this year.
