STIMULATE – the nation’s only sexual wellness trade show and conference – is thrilled to announce it’s partnership with Australian based retail global event, Retail Fest. Taking place May 28-30, 2025, in Gold Coast, Australia, STIMULATE will be a centrally positioned activation directly on the Retail Fest show floors to support attendees that include retailers across all categories.
I have personally attend Retail Fest in the past and am excited to bring STIMULATE with me this time. Retail Fest has always delivered ground-breaking and bold experiences for retailers, and their addition of STIMULATE truly echoes that sentiment. By positioning sexual wellness brands within the Retail Fest experience, we are excited to help breakdown stigmas, increase product distribution and reach new consumers through retailers for this amazing product category,” STIMULATE Founder Nicole Leinbach Hoffman shares.
Retail Fest has a firm belief that “it’s important to share new information that’s relevant to you and your business” and as their CEO Ashley Hudson explains, “introducing our attendees to brands and business leaders within sexual wellness is an exciting step in our evolving goal to always support our attendees bottom line.”
With 98% of Retail Fest attendees rating their event experience as ‘High Quality’ and ‘Very Useful’, the STIMULATE team is excited to support Hudson and Retail Fest in these same goals. Attendee of Retail Fest have historically been around 2K per show, and welcome retail decision makers across all categories of retail – including fashion, pharmacies, adult novelty and more.
With the global market of sexual wellness expected to reach nearly $100 Billion by 2032, STIMULATE remains committed to delivering quality trade show and conference experiences that put brand discovery, product knowledge and education that supports the business of sexual wellness at it’s core. Keeping this in mind, the term “sexual wellness” encompasses products that promote sexual health on multiple levels, including mental, emotional, and physical aspects. It includes a wide range of factors essential for maintaining sexual health, including but not limited to independent overall well-being, relationships, intimacy, sexual education, satisfaction, consent, and reproductive health.
STIMULATE’s flagship experience will return to Nashville, TN, on August 4 + 5, 2025, and they will also produce STIMULATE+Conversations LIVE in Beverly Hills on January 15, 2025. For more information on STIMULATE experiences, explore here.
