The inaugural X3 Amsterdam fan expo concluded its first day on Friday, September 12, 2026, at the Passenger Terminal building in Amsterdam, drawing attendees from Europe and globally to meet adult stars and explore industry innovations. The event, billed as the world's biggest creator expo, showcased performers, creators, and exhibitors, including a mix of European and North American talent.

Event Highlights and Star Appearances

X3 Amsterdam, the latest expansion for X3, focused on the personalities, media, and technology shaping modern adult entertainment. The event featured the X3 Amsterdam All-Stars, who hosted meet-and-greets within the exhibition hall. These All-Stars included Clemence Audiard, Little Caprice, Sabien DeMonia, Britney Dutch, Clea Gaultier, Catherine Knight, and Tiffany Tatum.

Clemence Audiard was the first of the All-Stars to meet fans on Day 1. Audiard was also the most nominated actress at the weekend’s XMA Europe Awards, with 13 nominations. Dressed in No Way Back attire, Audiard spent an hour signing flyers and taking selfies before Knight and Gaultier took over the space.

The Brazzers Creators booth featured contract stars Abigaiil Morris, Alexis Fawx, JMAC, Jordi El Niño Polla, Girthmasterr, Mick Blue, and Danny D. They wore X3 Expo jackets with "Brazzers in Amsterdam" written in pink on the back. Girthmasterr reported being in demand for social media content shoots and signings. The Irish Bull, 2025 XMA Europa Awards Male Creator of the Year, also visited the booth for a picture with Girthmasterr. Danny D, with over 15 years at Brazzers, noted the continued fan interest in his work and received multiple 2026 Euro XMA awards nominations. Blue expressed anticipation for the upcoming XMA Europe Awards, stating he had never attended before.

Veteran performer and Euro XMAs award nominee Keiran Lee observed the international presence of creators at X3 Expo, noting they came from "all over the world, not only from Europe." Hailey Rose, a performer and creator attending a European convention for the first time, described the turnout as "super-friendly and nice guys" and found the experience worthwhile for meeting new fans.

At the Fansly booth, Director of Marketing Leah Koons highlighted the different demographic at X3 Amsterdam compared to other events, noting the focus on business and networking. Naked News anchor Marina Valmont conducted interviews with stars, appreciating the mix of American and European talent and the opportunity to meet fans face-to-face in Amsterdam.

X3 Amsterdam All-Stars Tiffany Tatum and Sabien DeMonia also commented on the event. Tatum described the expo as "magical," while DeMonia praised the space and organization. Other European creators, including The Irish Bull, expressed positive sentiments about the event, with The Irish Bull calling it "the best experience in my life." Victoria Peach, reigning XMA Creator Awards Female Clip Creator of the Year, noted the continuous flow of fans and constant signing activity.

Screenings and Industry Presence

The screening room featured non-sex portions of Vixen Media Group’s multi-nominated "Pull," starring Hope Heaven, Melanie Marie, Vixi Rafi, and Dimitri Shadow, and directed by Julia Grandi. Grandi stated that "Pull" is partly based on her own experiences, detailing a past relationship where she discovered her partner was taking classes on manipulation. Grandi is working on a follow-up, "Push," scheduled to begin shooting in Greece on Monday with Lily Phillips and Jason Love.

At the Fleshlight booth, fans lined up to meet the Fleshlight Girls. Fleshlight Europe CEO Juan Ziena stated that the new conference format allowed the brand to reach more people and receive direct feedback. Business brand development lead Zuzana Kasinski expressed anticipation for Day 2. Christy Verville, VP of Creator Success at the Clips4Sale booth, noted that fans and creators were already familiar with the brand, attributing it to kink and fetish becoming more mainstream. Clips4Sale has increased its event attendance this year, including appearances at XBIZ Miami and XBIZ Los Angeles.

Paulita Pappel, from Lustery and HardWerk, introduced an SFW episode from the second season of her studio’s couples reality show, "House of Love & Lustery," in the screening room. Pappel explained that the show was conceived to feature actual sex, unlike traditional reality TV. The screened episode featured real-life couples Catherine Knight and Rob Hudson, Sammmnextdoor, Mike and Nina, and Mia and Jimmy Stone. Pappel detailed the research involved in creating the show, focusing on the couples' experiences with intimacy, performance fear, kink, and communication, all in preparation for an end-of-season orgy.

Day 1 of X3 Amsterdam concluded around 9 p.m., with fans departing and performers, creators, and exhibitors preparing for the next day.
