For the first time, TES was held in Marbella. From March 9 to 12, the local Hard Rock Hotel welcomed participants to “The European Summit,” once again offering top-notch networking under the Spanish spring sun. Many had arrived a day early to engage in casual yet promising conversations during the relaxed atmosphere of the evening welcome drinks and to make the most of their time in the coastal town on the Costa del Sol for networking.

A “family reunion” and so much more

People often highlight the familiar atmosphere in which participants come together. In fact, many have known each other for years and consistently use TES to plan new joint projects or refine existing ones. Despite this—or perhaps precisely because of it—attendees are always open to new perspectives and eager to explore exciting ideas that can enhance their own businesses.

New faces are always welcome

In addition to the familiar “regulars” who have been attending every TES for years, we always look forward to welcoming guests who are attending the conference for the first time. There are more than enough highlights, and the wide range of offerings provides valuable support, especially for newcomers to the industry.

With 1,669 participants, this was the largest Spring TES to date

We also had a small record to celebrate this time: more participants attended the TES in the spring than ever before. At the same time, it marked the first time the event was held at the Hard Rock Hotel in upscale Marbella. Only the fall events in Prague over the past two years have drawn even larger crowds.

As always, a professional process

Thanks to the professional organization, everything ran smoothly once again. Given the number of participants, this was absolutely essential; the hotel provided ample space, ensuring there was still room for conversations in a quieter setting. Fortunately, the weather cooperated as well, and the already spring-like temperatures made it ideal for spontaneous meetings in the spacious outdoor area.

Artificial intelligence continues to gain ground

About a third of the high-profile presentations focused in one way or another on the now almost ubiquitous topic of AI. Not everyone is on board with this trend, but engaging with it is inevitable, as the TES made abundantly clear. Artificial intelligence is transforming a wide range of business sectors at an ever-increasing pace. Anyone in the adult entertainment industry and related sectors who doesn’t want to fall behind was in good hands at the relevant presentations at the European Summit in Marbella.

The speakers shed light on the wide range of aspects surrounding the massive changes—some of which have already taken place—that are coming to the industry. Other key topics included insider insights from areas such as SEO, dating, age verification in various regions, the cam industry, traffic, and fan portals like OnlyFans. During the speed presentations, virtually everyone had a chance to speak briefly, introduce their product or service, and quickly make new connections that they could then build upon.

Meet Market on the first day of the fair

The concept of the well-known Meet Market works in much the same way; this time, it took place on the first of the three official event days. While a certain amount of hustle and bustle is inevitable here, it also contributes significantly to the charm of this part of the event. Efficiency doesn’t suffer as a result. Popular giveaways like pens, charging cables, and even more creative little gifts certainly play a role. But the focus here, too, is on the new connections that arise naturally in the casual atmosphere and are just waiting to be deepened in the days that follow for mutual benefit.

The next two follow-up events have already been scheduled

The next TES will take place in Prague from September 25 to 28, 2026, and will return to Seville the following year at the largest venue to date, from March 8 to 11, 2027.
