The Annual Gentlemen's Club EXPO, established in 1993, is the only convention in the world for the multi-billion-dollar adult nightclub industry. The ED EXPO is produced by ED (Exotic Dancer) Publications and attracts over 1,500 club owners, GMs, club staff, entertainers and other industry professionals (not open to the general public). The ED EXPO showcases educational seminars, parties, networking events, a 110-booth business-to-business tradeshow, and the Annual Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show (known as The ED's Awards).
