 I've pretty much gone every year since they started.  The show is always great.  As others pointed out, not all the people listed as appearing actually show.  Who shows up is really dependent on who the studios, magazines, and other industry people pay to show up.  
   
 Be prepared to spend about $20 per autographed photo (on average - some charge less, some more).  Be prepared to pay between $5 - $20 for a picture with each star.  
   
 Be prepared to stand there looking like a dope while people cut in front you in line - people that the star knows who are also in the industry, or for an interview, or to try on shoes, or a number of other interruptions.  (Doesn't happen with everyone but it happens enough to be warned about it)  
   
 Be prepared to stand there looking like a dope while the star chats on her phone.  Some of the stars are infamous for making guys wait, and not even looking up from their phones to acknowledge that the guy is standing there waiting.  Or a whole line of guys.  
   
 On the plus side, some of the stars who show up are actually WONDERFUL to chat with at the show: Katie Morgan was great last year, Lexi Belle, Nina Hartley, Joanna Angel (and all the gals at Burning Angel) to name a few, are always fun and friendly to their fans.  
   
 If you are planning to see any of the ladies who provide while they are in the area for the show, I recommend you get in touch with them or their agency (Adonia/TLC reps the largest number of them) in advance because the stars have limited "off" time and you have to schedule your date around their appearances at the show, strip clubs in the area, parties in NYC that they are being paid to attend, and more.  Their schedules are pretty full.  
   
 Hope all of this helps.
I didn't know you have to pay each star individually. At the AVN AEE you pay one admission fee and that's it. It's like DisneyWorld. Evrything elase you said happens there also.

I went to the show last year, had a great time but there's conservatively 2x the talent listed for this show as for last year and some pretty heavy weight names too. Of course, there is always the part about who actually shows. I have also had a booth a few shows and coordinating the talent does give rise to the expression "herding cats."

Natasha Nice tweeted the other day that it was news to her that she was going to be there when she saw she was listed.

Enjoyed seeing some of my favs, enjoyed the bondage demonstration also. Didn't enjoy all the local LEOs walking around. BTW, check out the Jersey board as the date approaches. Last year several of the ladies posted their availability.

I been several times and some ladies do charge for pictures.

It all depends on the lady.

More and more of the ladies are charging for pictures, and each year the ones that charge, charge more than the previous year.  For one thing, they pay for the pictures themselves so they want to cover the cost of all those 8x10s, 5x8s and whatever else they have available, not to mention the expenses they have that aren't being covered by whatever company is paying them to attend the convention.  

Secondly, there was an article in the paper recently about how mainstream stars can get $250K - $500K for one convention like a comic-con just charging for autographs and photo-ops.  If they can get that much, porn stars (or their talent agents) will surely figure out (if they haven't already) that they can get Big Bucks charging for those pictures and autographs at shows like Exxxotica and AVN.

Well when I went none of the ones I saw charged for pictures. And I took pictures with plenty as well as got autographs. In fact I made a huge album of the one I went to in 2008. My first one and I went crazy. Went all 3 days, some stars I see more than once. Also that;'s when it was held in the Sands Expo Center. I also went in 2011 and 2012. 2012 Was the first time it was held in the Hard Rock, small, so I only went once.

Great post....thanx for the input!

I've seen it posted in previous years that it is better NOT to see any of the girls that provide because their performance(s) are usually not as good as their reviews due to hectic schedules??

Has that been your experience as well

That's been my experience but others have claimed otherwise.  One time, the girl I saw came to the hotel room after standing at her booth for 12 hours with no breaks.  She was tired, and hungry and in a rush to get out of there to get food and rest (she was planning to eat and sleep in the limo on the way to NYC for an appearance at a club).  

The main thing you have to consider is that it's not just hectic schedules but many of these ladies are standing at their booth for HOURS and get few,  if any, breaks.  Try doing that in high heels, smiling all the time for all the fans (rude and otherwise). :-)

In my opinion, the optimal days for making dates are before the convention.  Second choice would be after the convention.  Some of the girls tour the area before and/or after the convention (I know Adonia has done this with her girls in the past) so making a date outside the time of the convention is not impossible, especially if you make arrangements in advance.

On the other hand, if this is a lady that doesn't tour often, or you don't get to the same cities at the same time except for the convention, then go for it.  Just remember that she's probably very tired.

(1) you can walk around and meet dozens of the performers you've always wanted to meet.

(2)many providers take appointments while they are in the area.  don't ask at the show, that's rude and forbidden.  Check their websites and TER as you normally would.. ahead of time.

It's not forbidden as far as I know... and it's not really rude either.  You just have to be discreet.

It would be rude to ask out loud in the earshot of others, but if you are discreet, polite an respectful with a fair bit of charm, no problem at all
