    I've been thinking about going, but since I've never been and have no idea what to expect, I'm not sure what value I'd get out of it. It'd be a different story if I were going with a cam mansion or something.

    I want to go, but I'd really like to move after Christmas and making the trip (since I don't live in Nevada) would postpone my moving.

    I'm going to be in Vegas that week for other reasons but figured I could maybe do some networking and at least partying. I'm still debating on whether or not to buy a ticket for the convention. I'm not on any major cam sites and I couldn't get a pass from C4S or Kinkbomb (haven't tried Clipvia but somehow I doubt it.) I specialize in solo femdom clips. Wondering if the convention would be of any use / entertainment to me. Thoughts?

    Network with Who? porn people from LA Do you plan on doing boy/girl porn?

    How will you know who is who?

    Many fans & PREDATORS go pretending to be porn directors & site owners how will you know the real from the fake? Not that it makes any difference, both will want you to go back to their room to suck & fuck their dicks for free. If you truly wanted to shoot for a major porn company then find them on twitter & submit pics.

    Porn people go to fuck, drink, party & pretend the business still makes money. Only companies really making money these days are CAM companies & you don't need to spend money to attend AVN to get hired on for that.

    Network with who? Other cam girls, you do that here.

    Fans go & you know these guys & what they want. You think in person on a convention floor they will be any different? They go in false hopes of getting laid by a porn star.

    What new innovations? Sorry but here on this board, has been the best resource than any AVN convention I've been to in the past when it was BIG as in 250,000 people went NOT the 30,000 attendance of last year. Which is a major indicator of how the porn business is doing financially.

    Dollar for Dollar spent it will NOT pay off in the end financially. This is a business, my ego doesn't need fans/directors/male porn stars/porn company owners ALL coming up & whispering dirty rude things in my ear while trying to grab my tits & ass while taking a pic in order for me to feel validated in this industry.

    Go to the lectures & here tales of how great it all was in the past & how they don't have a fucking clue how to make money in today's market. Is a complete FAIL.

    Trade shoots sound like a great reason to go, reality is most people flake off or are hung over, or got a hooking gig at that same time.


    90% of the porn stars in the business today male & female HOOK to make money. They are NOT making it in porn the rest CAM, just like you do. Going to the convention is a waste of time & money.

    Despite the fact that only cam companies & cam performers are the ONLY ones really making money in the industry any more we are STILL looked down upon by the industry. And why not, they can't make money off of you or exploit you for sex so you simply don't matter to them.



    Go to Vegas to party & have a good time. Go for a vacation. Don't go in hopes of recognition, hopes of making money or becoming a big star. You can simply do that right here on the web at any time.

    You gals have more on the ball than anyone in the porn biz I have ever met. I've learned more here in the past 2 years than in the past 14 years of porn. Ya'll are the future & new leaders on this industry. We need to stop seeing as the old guard, old men's club we have never been let into being the standard of porn. TODAY WE ARE THE BUSINESS, they need us, not the other way around. Until they recognize that fact, I want nothing to do with them.

    If you need to go, to spend your hard earned money to figure that out. Then & only then will it be money well spent.

    Happy Holidays,
    Sam

    In full disclosure, I do have a gripe with AVN. Been notified by those who know that on purpose over the years I have been kept from any nominations for awards on purpose.

    My mouth & telling girls exactly how this business is ran has come to bite me in the ass. Also being a bbw even though I am STILL a top seller on every single DVD cover & scene I've done for websites an embarrassment to the porn industry for being fat.


    Will it stop me from fighting the established rules set by those who never wanted the talent to make money or be truly successful? NOPE

    Also know that even though the BBWs did get their own category this year, they will NOT be on the televised portion of the AVN awards & were going to be kept from walking the red carpet until someone I know pitched a fit about it.

    This industry still has many prejudice against in it, which is pathetic in this day and age.

    Sam

    I get my revenge every single day I'm at the top 10 girls on SM which is a true market indicator of who sells & who doesn't in porn.

    Yes they still do that. If you are a performer that dares to speak up, they will punish you by not giving you awards or certain jobs. It's total bullshit and they know it.

    AVN also ignores a lot of the fetish crowd and that is a huge section of the industry now. Talent is much smarter now and they seem to usually know their shit. They arent going to be ignored or fucked over anymore. I love it.

    Thanks so much for weighing in, Sam and Jane. Those of us with less experience in the industry NEED wonderful women like you to speak up. There's so much exploitation and outright predation in this industry, and you just can't possibly be equipped to protect yourself if you're not expecting it.

    If porn were really the be-all end-all of adult entertainment, we wouldn't be seeing so many stars dropping out to cam.

    Perfect! I have been year ago, never again. Those places are not good for networking. You want to go party, hang out and get laid not a problem. Far too many pervs. Deal with those peoples on cam, don't want to meet them. Meeting other performers was the only bonus I got. The crowd of people looking to hookup sucks.

    Spot on for all three of you, thank you! Isn't cool that we are not stuck up, but instead want to share experiences and provide guidance and mentorship?!
    For me: if there is any business that comes my way towards cam or clips (although I'll be on high alert for sleeze balls!), it'll be a plus since I have biz cards and a website. It's simply because I've always wanted to see the wild debauchery, and have a little warm escape (especially a break from being a single mom and making my bed every day!) AND to get to show off some of the dresses I'll never have a chance to wear where I live. I'm certainly NOT attending the awards: boring bullshit IMO, so a short trip to see the expo, new stuff and some of the parties. Since I don't drink, smoke or gamble, I'm primarily there to get my cam personality on in public for fun and viewership.

    WARNING it isn't warm in VEGAS in Jan. AT all. You need to check the weather before packing. It is the desert not South Florida, it gets bitter cold & I have seen it SNOW during the AVN show before. In the summertime it is hotter than hell, like 131 degrees but winter it is 31 degrees to 50, with it dropping like crazy at night time.

    Thanks for the care!! I know it's not actually "warm" in the same sense for most people, but that's usually right around the time we get way below zero with windchills. Plus, most convention sites are too air conditioned (and casinos) so I'll prepare!

    I am attending but mainly because I am working a booth. It is insane with a lot of crazy fans and wannabe's yes and of course the ever present perverts. But I find those types everywhere to be honest. lol... I usually hideout in my room when traveling as much as possible.

    Okay, first timer (also posted this in verified)....I have an all access pass to shows, parties, etc--but it seems so disorganized! Such as where/when/what are the best things to attend at night? Everything starts at 11, all over the place it seems. What on earth to wear to everything (don't want to be toooo sexy for the expo walk around, but still, I'm in the industry). I'm helping at the C4S booth, but just walk arounds, otherwise, I'm independent for everything else. What to wear for lectures (I want to go to a couple), what's the scoop at the official hotel (where I'm staying) Hard Rock? Anything I should know? I've seen videos, gotten the gist from you here but guess I'm getting all type A over it! Any advice?

Everything starts at 11, all over the place it seems. What on earth to wear to everything (don't want to be toooo sexy for the expo walk around, but still, I'm in the industry). I'm helping at the C4S booth, but just walk arounds, otherwise, I'm independent for everything else. What to wear for lectures (I want to go to a couple), what's the scoop at the official hotel (where I'm staying) Hard Rock? Anything I should know? I've seen videos, gotten the gist from you here but guess I'm getting all type A over it! Any advice?
