Organizers Juan Carlos and Anthony (AJ) Riviera stepped up their game for the seventh annual LAL Expo, gathering over 3,800 people in Cali, Colombia.
“LAL Expo is an ambitious project, but it’s also something very close to our hearts. We have a deep love and respect for each member of our industry. It can be a very complicated business, but if we stick together and support each other, as Latinos but also as adult business owners, we’ll be able to move forward and exchange with other established international brands,” said Riviera in an open-hearted speech to journalists after the local government of Cali welcomed and declared the Lalexpo 2020 opened.
“The main idea behind LAL Expo has always been to bring people together and join our efforts to improve business developments and models global work conditions. We are very thankful for all the support that everyone has shown since the beginning,” he continued.
In a very professional and safe atmosphere, LAL Expo 2020 gathered companies, models and allies in the huge Valle Pacifico Convention Center. With a great will to meet and explore new opportunities, the attendees have shown a thirst for knowledge, new business development and/or expansion.
“Lalexpo was a great opportunity to meet key partners and talented models for FemBosses Studio and A Mestre, my two main projects open to all the empowered women who want to take control of their careers within the industry. It was a real honor to co-host the award ceremony with the notorious Fernando Solórzano — I really loved the whole event and experience, it was perfect!” said Luna Corazón, FemBosses Webcam Studio CEO.
LAL Expo was born from an idea between two of the biggest cam studios in Colombia, and their major strength has always been the adult camming market. This year, however, they also showed a strong and powerful presence of sextoys, clipstores, legal, marketing and logistics representation.
“The show remains the best opportunity for global adult companies to meet and collaborate with new and recurring Latin American allies. CAM4 likes to work hand in hand with our closest partners, and LALExpo is a great occasion to hang out, make friends, and close profitable deals,” explained Camilo Ramírez, CAM4 LATAM Regional Manager.
93 sponsors and 62 booths and stands were set up during the three day conference. Participants could also enjoy a wide variety of seminars, with topics ranging from traffic to payments, plastic surgery, mental health, PR, legal and logistics, the event has gathered some of the greatest experts to share their experiences and valuable tips.
“This is my 5th LAL Expo and I continue to be impressed by Anthony and his team for the event quality. LAL Expo is absolutely the place to showcase your business to the Latin American market and to make waves in the cam business!” affirmed Brad Mitchell, President of MojoHost.
Among the very interesting panelists some famous names and faces: the international pornstars Esperanza Gómez and Nacho Vidal, the great boudoir photographer Hernán Botero, the digital influencer El Mindo Ortiz, the iconic Juan Bustos, ManyVids CEO Bella French, the kinky master Baron Samedi, the fashion designer Alejandra Cossio, the porn director Cristian Cipriani and the talented plastic surgery doctor Fernando Buritica.
“LAL Expo is more than ‘just’ an event,” said Gómez. “It is an opportunity to learn, educate, inform and legalize. It’s like a university or a workshop camp.”
