2012 AEE, ANE, AVN Awards at Palms Resort Casino January 18-21

CHATSWORTH, CA, Jun 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
AVN Media Network is pleased to announce that the AVN Adult Entertainment
Expo is getting a fresh new venue that will unite the three biggest
events on the adult industry circuit under one roof, all taking place
over four exciting days.

The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) (www.adultentertainmentexpo.com/),
AVN Novelty Expo (ANE) (www.avnnoveltyexpo.com/) and the AVN Awards will
be January 18-21 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. AEE will run
January 18-21, ANE will take place January 18-20 and the must-attend AVN
Awards will be Saturday, January 21 in the Pearl Concert Theater at the
Palms.

"After having hosted the AVN Awards for the past two years, the Palms is
excited to help AVN take the Adult Entertainment Expo and the Adult
Novelty Expo in a new direction," said George J. Maloof, Jr., chairman of
the Palms Resort Casino. "Our world-class facilities and professional
staff will make the January shows a great success."

The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo is a one-of-a-kind tradeshow experience
that over its history has set the standard for adult conventions. It
combines business-to-business transactions, networking,
knowledge-sharing, talent appearances, and special presentations for the
public. The largest event of its kind, AEE showcases the most
comprehensive collection of adult talent, exhibitors, and products, which
attracts buyers and fans from around the world.

The change marks a new vision for AEE. Attendees and exhibitors of AEE
will experience something unique in 2012. Based on exhibitor and attendee
feedback, for instance, AEE will not run concurrent with CES, which will
minimize travel expenses and maximize networking opportunities for
exhibitors. The events will still overlap with other consumer shows in
Las Vegas, including SHOT Show, an annual shooting and hunter show that
brings more than 50,000 people into the city. (AEE is not affiliated with
SHOT Show.)

"The Palms has been a fantastic venue for us," said AVN founder Paul
Fishbein. "The intimacy of the space and the helpfulness and enthusiasm
of the management and staff guarantee that our exhibitors and attendees
will have a superior environment in which to do business."

AdultEntertainmentExpo.com about the January 2012 events, including the
registration website, which will be live by August 1.
