Produced by the publishers of Exotic Dancer Magazine, Expo 2004 marks the 12th year that the movers and shakers of the multi-billion dollar gentlemen's club industry will gather to address issues of concern to adult nightclub operators and to discuss ways to increase business in the often hostile and always competitive world of exotic entertainment.

Expo 2004 calls for three days of legal and marketing Panel Sessions, a 275-booth Tradeshow, Performance Showcases by the industry's top exotic dancers, and an Industry Awards Show.

Business highlights of Expo 2004 will include panel discussions by attorneys from the First Amendment Lawyers Association on the most pressing legal hurdles facing adult club operators today; marketing panels by professionals from both inside and outside of the adult nightclub industry; an update on the latest advances made by the Association of Club Executives (ACE) and other statewide associations; the popular New For Your Club panel with a look at the newest innovations and services to assist club owners in attracting customers and improving their bottom line; and, of course, three days of the Industry Tradeshow with 275 display booths.

Entertainment highlights of Expo 2004 will include the Opening Night Party Tuesday night; the Club Owner Appreciation Party, Wednesday night; three specialty runway events and Feature Entertainer Showcases on the Martin Professional mainstage during the Tradeshow; and the Annual Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show & Dinner, a full-blown Vegas-style casino show hosted by a nationally known comedian.

Attendees to Expo 2004 will also be able to attend, at no additional charge, the 8th Annual Exotic Dancer Fan Fair, a two-day meet-and- greet at Mandalay Bay Sept. 3-4th. At Fan Fair 2004, fans and industry professionals can socialize with over 150 top exotic dancers, feature entertainers, men's magazine covergirls and adult movie actresses at the world's largest Bikini Contest, an up-close-and- personal Feature Dancer Tradeshow, and two evenings of private parties and entertainer showcases.
