Recap Altitude Intimate 2022

After a two year hiatus due to the global pandemic, MGM Grand hosted the 2022 Annual Altitude Intimate Show in warm Las Vegas, Nevada.  The show is dedicated to global distributors and buyers representing companies from France, Poland, Germany, and United States.  Val and Denise, the ladies in charge, made it all possible.

Kirb: Some quick questions and answers I’d like to have in my recap of your show for Adult Industry News.

1) After a 2 year hiatus from a global pandemic what was the vibe like with the distributors and buyers?

Val and Denise: The Altitude Show offered the perfect atmosphere for the entire industry to reunite and reconnect in person after so long. You could feel the positive energy all around the show floor and during our welcome party. The traffic exceeded all expectations and everyone was just excited to be together and able to do business in a pleasant and business conductive environment. But more than anything, the overall experience was an enjoyable and exciting one on a personal level!

2) Which was the most popular booth and display at the show?

Val and Denise: Traffic was really overwhelming! Every booth seemed to be packed with enthusiastic buyers and staff. All exhibitors were extremely satisfied with results.

3) Were the distributors and buyers satisfied with the amount of networking opportunities?

Val and Denise: Definitely. We keep receiving great comments about the experience and signing vendors for Altitude 2023. Phone calls and emails are non-stop.

4) Do you feel that social media online is attracting more distributors and buyers rather than word of mouth?

Val and Denise: Currently, Both of them are a great way of connecting. The power of social media is undeniable but a close industry like ours continues to benefit greatly from word of mouth and peers reviews.

5) Any new features that you would like to see incorporated at next year’s Altitude Intimate Show?

Val and Denise: We are excited to go back to the Paris Hotel! Both, Buyers and Exhibitors enjoyed the venue and we are excited to make it happen for them once again. We continue working on strengthening relationships with Domestic and International attendees, streamlining registration process, and investing in technology to bring vendors and buyers closer together.

6) What was the highlight of this year’s show?

Val and Denise: Bringing the Industry together after almost 3 years was a very powerful experience. People were craving to be together once again and Altitude was the perfect setting to make it happen! All vendors gave 110% to welcome buyers and present newness in a very effective way. At the end of the day, the energy of the show was a very high one and everyone left with a positive outlook for the future of our business.

Kirb: Thank you for your time!
