Africa’s biggest adult convention broke all records, attracting local and international businesses to South Africa’s capital city to sell their products to over 16,500 visitors. For an industry traditionally occupying the online space, The Sex Expo proved a unique sales platform that proved the power of face-to-face sales.
With unprecedented turnover being reported by exhibitors over the four days, the continued buying power of the southern tip of Africa buoys a market that can’t be missed by any operator in the adult industry. With the organizers being inundated with requests to bring the event to other regions of South Africa, it has already set plans in motion to embark upon a countrywide tour in 2023.
With all manner of sexy shopping on display, The Sex Expo featured businesses and products from across the adult industry. With astonishing workshops, attractions like Pricasso the world-famous penile artist and non-stop sizzling entertainment throughout the event, visitors stayed for many hours longer than they would at a traditional expo, giving them ample time to shop and interact with the exhibitors.
“This year’s Sex Expo has truly been unlike any other. The media coverage was unprecedented, the vibe has been immense and the feedback we’ve had from exhibitors and the public has been off-the-charts. We’ve got new and incredible things planned for next year, so this was really a big stepping stone not just for us, but for the freedom of expression in our country. We’re really only getting started! ” Tao, Sex Expo Spokesperson.
If this year’s Expo is anything to go by and with exhibitors and performers already booking their spots and slots for 2023, expect the next Sex Expo to shine an even brighter light on the fundamental human need for desire in all its wonderful flavors, shapes and colors. As South Africa, like the rest of the world, continues to overcome its challenges, The Sex Expo is fully aware of its role in providing our society with a space where all are welcome to enjoy the very essence of our beings without prejudice, without fear and without barriers, just with a whole lot of very, very sexy fun! See you in 2023, because for all of us, it’s going to be something special!
