ROSEMONT, ILL. — The 2014 edition of Exxxotica Chicago has now concluded, with the show’s promoters reporting record increases across the board, on the exhibitor, sales and attendee side, at its fourth show in Chicago, and 23rd event overall.
According to its promoters, Exxxotica Chicago saw a record number of women and couples at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, as well as increased overall attendance. The expo’s sold-out exhibitor floor also saw those vendors selling out of product and posting amazing sales numbers.
“It didn’t matter what an exhibitor was selling or promoting — the cash-in-hand attendees couldn’t get enough,” states an Exxxotica spokesperson. “One exhibitor, Charles Craton, who has participated in over 20 shows, said that this was his best Exxxotica ever for sales at his DVD and novelty booth.”
More women than ever reportedly took advantage of the “Ladies Free Friday,” which was sponsored by ArrangementFinders.com. Saturday saw “an incredible crowd,” while Sunday enjoyed steady attendance that left some exhibitors with very little merchandise to bring home.
Exxxotica Chicago brought more than 150 adult entertainers together with their fans, including stars such as Tori Black, Tera Patrick, Allie Haze, Ron Jeremy, Lexi Belle, Tanya Tate, Phoenix Marie, Evan Stone, Stormy Daniels, Kayden Kross, Veronica Rodriguez, Nina Hartley, Jada Stevens, Kendra Lust, Ash Hollywood, Belle Knox, Adriana Chechik, Ryan Driller, Joanna Angel, Dillion Harper, Layton Benton, Sophia Fiore, Kaylani Lei, Tara Lynn Foxx, Jynx Maze, Brooke Haven and more.
Some of the longest lines were there to meet VH1 “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” reality stars Mimi and Nikko who were there to meet and greet fans and sign copies of their Vivid celebrity sex tape.
The new and improved entertainment stage, with a massive video wall and concert sound system was one of the main focal points of the show throughout the weekend, with performances by feature dance acts such as RubberDoll, Brooke Haven, Dreamboys Chicago, Stallions Male Revue, and Tera Patrick.
Daily panels, performances and giveaways, along with Veronica Rodriguez’s International Twerk Contest, and the crowning of a new Ms. Exxxotica, highlighted the three-day stage schedule. Seminar panelists included Ron Jeremy, Nina Hartley, Belle Knox, Will Ryder, Tanya Tate, Evan Stone, Mistress C., Tyomi and more.
Exxxotica’s VIP attendees enjoyed exclusive freebies and discounts, a new VIP Beer Garden and premium stage viewing. When the show closed, VIP after parties were held at various venues, including Heavenly Bodies, Castle Nightclub, Kings Rosemont, Evil Olive and Vertigo Nightclub.
“Exxxotica Chicago 2014 is the kind of event that we’re always striving for,” J. Handy, Director of the Exxxotica Expos, stated. “We live for raising the bar and this event did just that. Now it’s time to go home, recharge, and do the same thing all over again for New Jersey in November.”
Next on tap is Exxxotica’s return back to the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area, November 7-9 at the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center in Edison, N.J., where the show’s producers are already planning more features and surprises.
