The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) announces its return to Las Vegas for AVN’s Adult Entertainment Expo.
Taking place Jan. 21-24 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, the 2026 AVN Expo is the largest event of its kind, bringing together all sectors of the adult industry under one roof.
The ultimate destination for networking, learning, and celebrating the creativity and diversity of the adult industry, the AVN Expo features cutting-edge exhibitors showcasing the latest innovations. The event is a hub for discovering new products and trends. In addition to the vibrant expo floor, the AVN Expo offers a focused educational track featuring insightful seminars and workshops led by industry experts, providing invaluable knowledge and tools for success.
ASACP’s Executive Director, Tim Henning, will attend the event to represent the association and meet with digital media companies, independent content creators, and other industry stakeholders.
“The AVN Expo offers ASACP a unique opportunity to reach out to businesses and individuals at all levels of the industry, from well-established operators to recently founded players,” Henning explained. “As the market continues to evolve and attract a new generation of creators, it’s vital for the association to engage with these entrepreneurs to share our perspective on the methods and the need to protect children from online harm and exposure to age-inappropriate materials.”
While at the event, Henning will also serve as a panelist for the most anticipated session of the new year, “The State of Age Verification: Compliance and Vigilance,” set for Wednesday, Jan. 21, from 4-4:50 p.m. in the hotel theater.
With a session promising “the latest information about the most consequential issue facing the adult industry today — the state of age verification on adult sites,” he will help attendees learn what they need to do to stay compliant with these rapidly changing regulations.
The event’s promoters will provide ASACP with a table at the Meet Market and sponsor-level banner placement. In addition, they will provide Henning with complimentary expo admission.
“It’s important for the industry to stand together on issues like preventing children from seeing age-restricted online content,” an event rep said. “By helping ASACP have a presence at our events, we make it easier for the association to reach the decision-makers who can best influence children’s online safety.”
“We hope that all AVN Expo attendees will take a moment to meet with Tim and learn how they can help,” the rep added.
ASACP’s Exclusive Travel Sponsor, DialXS, generously covers Henning’s airfare and travel expenses, enabling the association to attend this worthwhile event.
“AVN Expo has greatly supported our association, and we sincerely value it,” Henning concluded. “Without the generous support from our sponsors, especially DialXS’ support for travel expenses, we wouldn’t be able to connect with the key decision-makers we meet with at AVN and sustain ASACP’s continued success.”
These successes include free child protection resources, such as market-specific Best Practices and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for age-restricted content publishers and promoters. They also include the RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-label system, other parental resources, and the CSAM Reporting Tipline, which has processed more than 1.6 million tips to date.
