About

Who is behind it.

An 18+ adult wellness and intimacy expo in Houston, Texas, produced in Houston by people who have spent years on convention floors.

The producer

Ken Sevier and The Ken Dolls.

Pleasure Expo is produced by Ken Sevier and The Ken Dolls, a Houston performance troupe with years of convention experience. The idea is simple: an entertainment show for adults, with a real store, real clinicians and real education around it, run with the same consent-first rules on the floor as on the stage.

Adam & Eve is the retail partner. They run the official storefront at the show, and every sponsor level comes with product placement in it, so attendees can pick something up, ask about it and walk out with it in a bag.

Houston is home. The audience we are building for is adults 18 and up, mostly 25 to 44, from Greater Houston, Southeast Texas and the Gulf Coast: couples making a weekend of it, groups of friends, solo attendees, people looking for credible health information, and the LGBTQIA+, kink-aware and body-positive communities that make this city's nightlife what it is.

What we will not do

  • Name a venue, a sponsor or a guest before the agreement is signed.
  • Sell a ticket before the host hotel is announced.
  • Put anything explicit on this website, on the floor or on a stage.
