AltStar Expo 2025: Convention Candids by Steven Sandler

Shot at the biggest AltStar Expo yet, this is a gallery of photos of the exhibits and media halls and just fun convention candids. 2025 marked the expansion to four days of fun. The first two days of the AltStar Expo were Industry only and then there was the brand new Fan Appreciation Day, followed by the AltStar Awards on the last day.

In the exhibitor hall, we had booths from content and toy brands in the alt space, alongside carefully curated purveyors of everything deliciously alternative, from gothic jewelry to 3d printed kink, and, of course, on the Fan Appreciation Day, tons of wonderful altmodels. Attendees were able to shop for hard-to-find unique toys in person and get information about content creation and marketing and streaming. In addition, a lot of collaborative media was created right on the show floor. Thank you to Wandering Bard, Joystick, BlueBlood, Zinetastic, AltErotic, Gothurbate, Dan Eternal, Sinister Salon, Colorful Cook, Alchemist Echidna, Erotic Sky, Pleasure Print Studios, Paladin Pleasure Sculptors, Pleasure Forge, and everyone else who made the AltStar Expo exhibits and media halls such a fun and interesting success.
