Adult Convention Overview
Written By Titmowse
What happens at an adult webmaster convention? Are they invariably huge events or are they smaller more intimate gatherings? Do they really have naked models dancing in fountains of champagne?
Adult Internet types assemble in groups year round, all over the world. There are spontaneous get-togethers, more formal gatherings and actual conventions. The way one can tell them apart is by their size and scope. If the affair is scheduled for three or more days, has a show room set up with many booths representing many companies and is held in a large city, chances are the event would be categorized as a convention. If the function spans two or less days, hosts one or two small seminars and a couple of good parties, then a webmaster gathering is in discussion. If the occasion happens spontaneously or is planned within the expanse of a couple of days and involves dinner and a night at the strip bar, one would be talking about a get-together.
In this digital age and this digital profession an adult webmaster can get quite snap happy with their digital camera. They often post pictures from these events on message boars and sites. Since this is the porn business nude body parts always manage to find their way into these gallery albums. The nude body quantity is also an indicator of a convention, gathering or get together. Conventions are usually sponsored by multiple large net porn ventures. They can afford to hire models for special shooting shows where attendees get to click away at naked lesbians licking the butter off each other on a leopard print bed. At conventions, there will be private parties in hotel suites where there’s even more dirty photo opps with even more hot models. At conventions, you’re likely to see actual boobs plus meet the many stars from video/print and Internet porn. An adult webmaster who has his arm around the waist of a smiling Ariana on disk has bragging rights as long as he pays his Internet bill. These wonderful lovelies show up at the smaller gatherings but not in as large a number at their convention counterparts.
The amount of actual webmastery will clue you into where you are when porn types congregate. A convention will hold many seminars and you will probably have to pay extra to attend them. A convention usually charges separately for showroom passes and seminar passes. Sometimes the seminars will be "à la carte" or restricted to webmasters of a certain level. Conventions are known for invite-only parties while at the same time and even night one will have opportunity to attend open access affairs. Gatherings will have seminars but as stated previously, they are more intimate and sometimes more productive that the larger ones. The parties are still there but they are on a less grand scale and number. Get-togethers are more about meeting at somebody’s house or a bar. The nude women (because adult webmasters always find them) tend to be the strippers or waitresses or friends in attendance.
Along the same theory of quantity, the number of big players you see will verify what kind of show you’re at. The largest porn companies primarily sponsor conventions. The sponsors, hosts and content providers who sign paychecks in the hundreds of thousands of dollars will attend a convention as opposed to a gathering or get together. A gathering will have it’s share of big players but no where near the amount a convention has. A gathering by nature of it’s size will allow you more time with very true legends. In the case of a get together, whoever shows up is whom you will see.
What kind of adult webmaster occasion you attend depends on the factors of your life. Internet porn types live all over the earth. They gather mostly in their own countries or the closest to their homes just as you would. Others will save their money and only attend one major convention a year or so. Yet others will maybe come to one or two get-togethers and not much more than that. Whatever kind of occasion(s) you wish to attend, try to attend at least one. Net smutmongers do a lot of buying, selling and dealing in between the bar, the boobs and the badass info. You don’t have to go to meet with your fellow adult Internet professionals, but you might enjoy it if you do.
