EXXXOTICA Chicago Wraps Record Weekend Attracting 26,500 Attendees

Enthusiastic Attendees Turn the Love & Sex Expo’s Debut in the Windy City into the Largest & Most Successful EXXXOTICA Expo To Date

CHICAGO, IL – Over the weekend, EXXXOTICA Chicago attracted a record 26,500 attendees to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. EXXXOTICA Chicago, presented by HotMovies.com, was the 11th love and sex expo produced by Victory Tradeshow Management, and it was also the largest and most successful ever in any of the four cities where the show has appeared. The previous sho w record for attendance was 24,000 at 2008’s EXXXOTICA Miami. First-time fans in the Chicagoland area experienced EXXXOTICA’s renowned lineup of stage shows, seminars, exhibitors and celebrities. The expo set an additional record on opening night as thousands of women and couples participated in Ladies Free Friday. In addition, leading national and local media reported from the expo floor, documenting EXXXOTICA’s monumental weekend.

“We knew Chicago was going to be our best debut expo ever, but it managed to exceed even our highest expectations,” said J. Handy, Director of Victory Tradeshow Management. “We drew the most attendees ever in EXXXOTICA’s history, and nearly half of them were women. Overall the feedback was amazing, and we are already beginning preparations to bring the show back for a second year.”

In its coverage of EXXXOTICA, TimeOutChicago.com wrote, “There was no need for an MC to ask: ‘Are there any sexy people in the house.’ If you weren’t sexy, you didn’t belong.” Chicago.UnratedMagazine.com added in a post, “Thousands of women and couples crowd the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center for the love and sex expo…EXXXOTICA Chicago provides the city with a much-needed source of entertainment and education.”

Exhibitors at EXXXOTICA Chicago were ecstatic with the expo’s attendance. Jesse, the content manager for show sponsor HotMovies.com, exclaimed, “I love Chicago. The expo has been tremendous, and the attendance has been off the chain. We have a great vibe going at our HotMovies.com booth, and it’s always great to work with our EXXXOTICA family.”

“It’s been great to give back to the fans and meet new ones,” stated Evil Angel Domestic Sales Manager Justin Rich. “The huge attendance number allowed for profit and major exposure.” Susan, Screaming O representative and owner of Sexy Suz Adult Emporium out of Georgia, added, “It’s been awesome; the best fan show we have ever done.” Many of the show’s 150 plus vendors completely sold out of product, and all of them experienced incredible sales figures from the cash-in-hand crowd.

Fans continue to rave about EXXXOTICA Chicago on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter. Amber Kozak posted on EXXXOTICA’s Facebook page, “My boyfriend was so glad I won a free ticket and wanted him to come with me! We had such a great time and can’t wait for next year! Lots of pics (will post later), lots of free stuff (yay VIP), lots of great toys bought! Loved, loved, loved the DJ, MC and of course, all the hot women!” Adrian Thomas of Chicago summed up the general consensus with, “Had a great time! I’m going every year!”
