The 3rd Annual Str8UpGayPorn Awards Will Return To The Avalon In Hollywood On January 12th, 2020
Get ready, because the 3rd annual Str8UpGayPorn Awards are now just a little over four months away, and today I’m able to confirm the ceremony date, the venue, and even more news about the big Str8Up weekend that’s coming.
The Str8UpGayPorn Awards will be held on Sunday, January 12th, 2020. The ceremony will be at the Avalon in Hollywood, the venue of last year’s iconic show, which was hosted by Bianca Del Rio, with co-hosts Blake Mitchell and Boomer Banks. (ICYMI: You can view the entire show here, and you can view the inaugural show, hosted by Sandra Bernhard, here.)
Like every year, the entire show—featuring the presentation of over two dozen awards, live musical performances, and the industry’s biggest stars—will be live streamed here on Str8UpGayPorn. Tickets for those attending the ceremony in Hollywood will be available beginning in October.
In addition to the awards, Str8UpGayPorn is expanding the weekend with the launch of the first ever Str8UpGay Summit, where fans, gay porn stars, and more will come together for the industry’s only all-gay convention, meet-and-greet, networking, and trade show. Here’s the press release with the full announcement on the Str8UpGay Summit and the Str8UpGayPorn Awards, running January 9th-12th, 2020:
Hollywood, CA- Today, gay porn’s number one entertainment news site, Str8UpGayPorn, is thrilled to report that the 3rd annual Str8UpGayPorn Awards will be returning to Hollywood, CA on Sunday, January 12th 2020!
After two years of hugely successful and groundbreaking shows that created a new standard in the gay adult industry, Str8UpGayPorn is excited to announce that it is expanding the weekend to include the only Business-to-Business and Business-to-Consumer summit, the Str8UpGay Summit!
With so many conferences in adult entertainment taking place around the world today, the gay adult industry has been grossly underrepresented in the trade show circuit, even though gay adult entertainment is thriving. The one thing missing is a forum for the gay industry to truly connect with one another.
Str8UpGayPorn will fill this void with the first of its kind Gay Summit. True to brand, the Str8UpGay Summit will be anything but a traditional trade conference. Taking place January 9th – 11th, the Str8UpGay Summit will bring together studios, conglomerates, models, lifestyle brands, advertisers, and the one thing missing from most trade shows, FANS! For the first time ever, fans will be able to connect and meet with their favorite gay performers, studios, and brands in the flesh. Str8UpGay Summit will also bring out top industry decision makers and provide a stage where today’s trending topics can be discussed while providing authentic networking opportunities, all taking place at the spectacular W Hotel Hollywood.
Topping off an incredible weekend will be the 3rd annual Str8upGayPorn Awards on Sunday, January 12th, which will be live streamed to hundreds of thousands of fans around the world on the industry’s number one news site, Str8UpGayPorn.
Str8UpGayPorn Co-founder Davyd Dixon says of the Summit, “After two years of hearing from top executives in the business tell me how they connected with one another at our awards show and ended up doing real business together, I thought—what if we expanded the weekend into something even bigger.” He goes on to say, “The Str8UpGay Summit will be a meeting of the minds, in an elegant, creative, and sophisticated environment. This three day summit celebrates gay adult entertainment in all of its forms, with the goal of giving the gay industry the platform it has long deserved.”

And, one more highlight, when Wesley Woods won the award for Best Actor, for his work in Falcon’s Zack And Jack Make A Porno:
