Australia’s largest adult trade fair is always accompanied by an award ceremony celebrating achievements in the sex toy industry. This year’s edition took place in the Hotel Palazzo Versace from 1-3 April in Gold Coast. Winners of this year’s awards were announced last Wednesday.
The 15th edition of Australia’s biggest B2B industry event took place in the city of Gold Coast. The fair has become an important tastemaker in the sex toy market for Oceania. This year’s Adultex was sponsored by Calexotics and Pipedream, two of the biggest manufacturers from the US.
Adultex attracted 33 exhibitors and over 170 guests from across the industry. Roger Sheldon-Collins is GM of Calvista, the company hosting Adultex. He says: »ADULTEX continues to be the premier adult tradeshow in the southern hemisphere and we look forward to hosting our 16th Adultex.«
The fair started on Monday with a welcome party sponsored by Calexotics and offered plenty of opportunities for anyone in the business to network and explore important new trends in the industry. Adultex concluded with the award ceremony sponsored by Pipedream on 3 April.
