The 29th VENUS Berlin is history – and what a history it is! From 22 to 25 October 2026, exactly 41,312 visitors streamed into the exhibition halls beneath the Funkturm. That is around 28 percent more than the previous year, which saw approximately 32,290 guests. This makes the latest edition the largest VENUS Berlin of all time. For four days, life pulsed through the halls, long queues formed in front of the stars’ booths, and the stages were on fire. More than 270 exhibitors from over 40 countries presented their innovations, products and trends. Selfies with favourite creators, autographs, personal encounters, shopping highlights and spectacular live shows – VENUS once again delivered an experience that goes far beyond a classic trade fair.

An Important Meeting Point for the International Adult Industry

For the adult, lifestyle and creator industry, VENUS has long been one of the most important international meeting points of the year. Retailers, manufacturers, platform operators and companies from the sex-tech sector made intensive use of the four trade fair days for new contacts, collaborations and business deals. This year, the particular focus was on artificial intelligence, innovative creator platforms and new digital business models.

A dedicated B2B area was provided for the numerous trade visitors. Numerous companies had booked lounges there, where people could talk in peace away from the hustle and bustle of the fair. In addition, there were numerous lectures that attracted strong interest and addressed precisely these future topics. Celebrations then continued at the VENUS B2B Party in the Bricks Club, presented by Paxum and Stripchat. For the first time, the official VENUS app also accompanied the fair and offered its own B2B section for trade visitors.
