The sextech industry thrives on innovation and collaboration, and our Events category is your portal to this vibrant ecosystem. We spotlight key gatherings that shape the future of sexual technology and wellness, from the groundbreaking Sex Tech Hack in London to the provocative discussions at SXSW’s sextech meetups. Conferences like the Sexual Health Innovation Conference and the International Congress on Love and Sex with Robots offer platforms for researchers and innovators to share cutting-edge developments. We cover these events, providing insights into emerging trends such as AI-powered intimacy devices and VR-enhanced couples therapy. For hands-on innovators, we highlight hackathons and workshops where the next generation of sextech is born. Events like the Touchy Feely Tech jam showcase how developers are pushing boundaries in haptic feedback and sensory experiences. Our coverage extends to industry trade shows like ANME and XBIZ, where the latest in pleasure products and adult entertainment technology debut. We also explore how mainstream tech events like CES are gradually opening their doors to sextech, reflecting the industry’s growing legitimacy. From Cindy Gallop’s MakeLoveNotPorn academy sessions to Bryony Cole’s Future of Sex bootcamps, we keep you informed about educational opportunities that blend sexuality with entrepreneurship and technology. By curating information on these diverse events, we aim to connect professionals, entrepreneurs, and curious minds with the forums that drive sextech innovation.
