David Ross (Mr Sexpo)

David Ross built and ran Sexpo, an adult lifestyle exhibition he launched in Australia in 1996 before taking the event to South Africa and later London. He speaks now on the marketing, public relations and resilience lessons drawn from building a major exhibition brand from scratch, including the pushback he faced from venues, media and potential partners along the way. Sessions cover corporate functions, media conferences, boardroom meetings and broadcast appearances, with a question and answer segment built into the format. David also served as president of the national Adult Entertainment Industry Association and sat on a state government advisory committee for the sector.
