Best Adult Awards Return to Qwebec Expo

MONTREAL — September’s second Qwebec Expo, a webmaster event designed to follow the semi-annual Internext conference in Florida, will feature a pared-down Best Adult Awards to recognize talent in the adult web arena.

“We wanted to sponsor an event that gave credit to some categories left out in other award shows,” Qwebec Expo CEO Michael Plante told XBiz. After last year’s debut show, Plante received feedback that the ceremony, with 25 categories, was too long. So he took surveys on webmaster message boards and dropped the 10 least-popular categories to create a more streamlined experience.

Available online at BestAdultAwards.com, webmasters can vote on the Qwebec Expo’s version of industry leader awards, positive personality awards, business awards, affiliate site awards and niche awards.

The Qwebec Expo, which Plante said drew about 250 people to its initial gathering in Quebec City last year, expects between 300 and 350 attendees this September in Montreal. Plante said that most of the attendees are American.

“With a lot of [Florida’s] Internext attendees not having to pay plane fare to get there, there is still money in the budget to fly to Montreal for a September conference,” Plante assumed, saying that he wants to expand his conferences to Paris and New Orleans in coming years for a conference trio he calls “The French Connection.”

“Of course we will speak English for the Americans,” Plante added.

Best Adult Awards nominees will be announced July 25. Conference attendees can attend the awards show for free as well as sign up to be judges on the show’s website. The event will be hosted by Vivid Entertainment performer Malezia.
