AVN Media Network

Since 1982, the AVN Media Network has been one of the major information producers of the adult entertainment community. AVN Media Network's portfolio of businesses includes several widely-recognized adult industry publications including AVN, AVN Online, GAYVN, and AVN Novelty Business. The corporate website is http://www.avnmedianetwork.com. However the most informative of the AVN Media Network publications has been the "AVN Industry Directory (the "AVN ID")", which is a comprehensive listing of many current adult production companies and related businesses. The book, sometimes called the "little redbook" (a reference to the once noted "little black book" mythos of one's sexual contacts), is a paid service for companies to collectively list themselves for contact for their services to other businesses in the adult industry. The Directory is updated annually and usually has a listing of over 9,000 active companies and has an active known subscription of 25,000 business consumers. [http://www.avnid.com http://avnid.com] It is this comprehensive listing that has noted AVN as one of the informative standards of adult industry as no other adult publication has such a comprehensive reference of adult specific and adult supportive businesses. In addition, AVN Media Network hosts the leading industry conventions: AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, Internext Las Vegas, Internext Summer, AVN Novelty Expo, the GAYVN Expo, GAYVN Summit; and the consumer show Erotica LA. The most well recognized of the AVN conventions is the annual AVN Awards and GAYVN Awards ceremonies which are regarded parallel to the Academy Awards specific to the Adult Industry, against other adult industry awards such as XRCO Awards. The AVN Awards have been active since 1984 with some periods of inactivity in the late 1980s. AVN Media Network is headquartered in the San Fernando Valley. It is owned by Darren Roberts and Paul Fishbein. ee also *Pornography in the United States *AVN Adult Entertainment Expo
