With the opening day of Venus Berlin on October 22, 2026, the Adult Press Association (APA) officially starts its activities. The alliance of independent specialist media from the German-speaking adult entertainment industry is using the industry’s most important trade fair as a platform to present its goals, cooperation opportunities, and first joint projects.
Venus Berlin, which takes place from October 22 to 25, 2026, at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds, provides the ideal setting for exchange with companies, agencies, organizers, and other industry players. Here, the APA presents itself as a unified group for the first time and invites discussions about cross-media initiatives.
Strong Together While Remaining Independent
The Adult Press Association was founded on August 10, 2026, by nine established specialist publications. It sees itself as a modern editorial network rather than a traditional industry association. Each member fully retains its journalistic orientation, profile, and entrepreneurial independence. At the same time, structures are created for joint projects, cross-promotion, and a stronger collective market presence.
The founding media ERONITE, CASZIN, GERMAN ADULT NEWS, CUTE & DANGEROUS XXX, CREATORMAGAZIN, DIE WELT DER VENUS MAGAZIN, HAPPY WEEKEND, HOT SLATE, and ADULT WORLD MEN ONLY contribute diverse focuses and many years of industry experience. This results in broad and differentiated coverage of developments, personalities, and trends in the adult industry.
What the Alliance Specifically Advances
At the center of its work are joint editorial formats, industry-relevant special projects, and mutual support through cross-promotion. The APA also creates a central point of contact for cross-media advertising and sponsorship offers. This allows campaigns to be implemented efficiently and with greater reach.
Journalistic integrity, transparent collaboration, and a clear separation between editorial content and commercial partnerships form the foundation. The alliance aims to strengthen the visibility and credibility of independent adult specialist media and open up new opportunities for its members that would often be difficult to achieve alone.
A Professional Point of Contact for the Industry
As an umbrella organization, the Adult Press Association combines independent specialist journalism with strategic collaboration and joint marketing. It positions itself as a point of contact for companies, agencies, organizers, institutions, and media partners.
Responsible for the alliance are Tom Berger of GERMAN ADULT NEWS, Bernhard Bradatsch of CASZIN and CREATORMAGAZIN, Oliver Williams of CUTE & DANGEROUS XXX and HOT SLATE, as well as Mario Meyer of ERONITE. Further information about the trade fair presence and appointment opportunities will be provided at adultpress.org.
CASZIN and CREATORMAGAZIN are pleased to be founding members of this alliance and to officially begin the joint work at Venus Berlin. With this, the Adult Press Association sends a strong signal for solidarity, professionalism, and the future of independent specialist journalism in the adult industry.
