The nation’s largest adult convention returned to the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison for its 18th year, October 23–25, and once again brought fantasies to life on a massive scale.
(EDISON, NJ — October 25, 2026) EXXXOTICA, the country’s biggest adult event dedicated to love and sex, wrapped up its three-day run in Edison, New Jersey, on Sunday. Tens of thousands of men, women, and couples from the Tri-State area and beyond filled the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center for entertainment, exploration, and a full escape from everyday reality.
Presented by MyFreeCams, EXXXOTICA gave attendees the chance to leave the ordinary behind and step into a world where fantasies came to life. Guests met more than 300 of their favorite adult stars and content creators, shopped with over 200 vendors, watched provocative and one-of-a-kind stage performances, and sat in on entertaining and educational seminars and panels. When the expo doors closed each night, the energy continued at official after-parties throughout New Jersey and New York City.
