Internext Expo 2007

AVN Media Network, the industry leader for adult entertainment news, released today that Paul Fishbein, President of AVN Media Network, will moderate a special session with the industry’s most notable personalities at Internext Las Vegas 2007 on Monday, Jan. 15 from 1;00pm – 3:00pm. Fishbein will host The Future of the Adult Industry panel discussion with Chief Executive Officer of Vivid Entertainment Group, Steven Hirsch, SilverCash President Mike Price, Video Secrets President Gregory Clayman, GEC Media President Greg Dumas, and HotMovies President Richard Cohen, who up to this point in history, have never assembled together in one room.

“Never before has this kind of brain trust been brought together in one place at one time for the purpose of enlightening the industry,” Fishbein said. “I think this will be a once-in-a lifetime educational experience.”

According to Fishbein, the task of moderating a panel of such diverse characters with broad backgrounds is at once daunting and exhilarating. “The people on this panel are icons in the adult industry-both online and offline. Every one of them is at the forefront of technology and evolving business models, and every one of them has proven he has staying power and the guts and chutzpah to make the most of emerging opportunities. What I’m particularly pleased about is that they’ve agreed to share how they got where they are and how they plan to continue being successful in a challenging environment.”

Internext Expo, occurring Monday – Wednesday, Jan. 15-17, 2007, also includes a keynote address by Joe Lakey, Executive Vice President at Playboy Entertainment, Inc., on the first day, Monday, Jan. 15 from 12:00pm to 1:00pm and a closing session by Dr. Marty Klein, author of “America’s War on Sex: The Attack on Law, Lust & Liberty” on Wednesday, Jan. 17 from 12:00pm – 1:00pm.

Also premiering at the show is an online silent auction and a live adult domain auction on Wednesday, Jan. 17 from 3:00pm – 7:00pm. Internext Expo and Moniker teamed up for this exciting and high energy event complete with a professional auctioneer and host, Monte Cahn, CEO of Moniker.com.
