David Ross, often referred to as Mr. Sexpo, conceived and launched Sexpo in Australia, in 1996, before exporting the event to South Africa in 2007, and then London in 2015, however has had no interest in Sexpo Australia since before the 2019 sale of the event to Australian Exhibition Group Pty. Ltd. and therefore played no part in the demise of the event he launched in 1996.
David says, “the new operators strayed from the original concept of producing female friendly events that are inclusive, a place for fun and celebration; events that showcase more than just sex-related content, including spa pool sales, glamour photography studios, fashion and accessories, beauty services, and more.
Since Sexpo Australia announced on 23/09/24 that it was indefinitely postponing all future events and Australian Exhibition Group was placed into liquidation on 23/10/24, David has been planning to revive the event he launched in 1996.
SexEx Adult Lifestyle Expo was staged at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in February this year.
“We have now finalised the purchase of all Sexpo Australia assets from the liquidator, for cents on the dollar and we will now work towards completely rebranding SexEx to the original name, Sexpo, before the Perth event at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, September 18-20.
“Now that we have the new (old) management team in place, Sexpo will return to its original format which saw up to 68,000 people attend the early events,” said Ross.

CEO – SexEx™/Sexpo

David Ross, often referred to as Mr. Sexpo, conceived and launched the adult entertainment exhibition, Sexpo – health, sexuality and lifestyle expo in Australia, in 1996, before expanding to South Africa in 2007.
With the exhibition industry on hold at the moment, David has decided to use his newfound spare time to write his tell-all autobiography.
David, an Adult Industry Hall of Fame inductee, draws on his 38-year adult entertainment industry background, including stints at Ladies for Gentlemen, Top of the Town, Daily Planet, Simply Irresistible, Club X, and as president of the Adult Entertainment Industry Association, plus much more, to detail not only his time as Mr. Sexpo, but also the many years beforehand spent in the illegal (at the time) brothel industry.
While most would expect there to be a fair amount of sex and drugs involved, what may surprise readers are the stories of corporate mismanagement, gangsters, bomb threats, fire bombings, sexual harassment, bashings, kidnapping and other tales of general naughtiness. On a lighter note, there’s a lot of very funny stuff as well.
From Las Vegas to Johannesburg, from Amsterdam to Boston, from London to Sydney; from Boardroom to Backstage, All WILL BE REVEALED

Apart from writing his autobiography, David is now available for very entertaining public speaking appearances and business consultancy engagements. Contact us HERE for further information.
Since leaving Sexpo behind, David, like many in the adult entertainment industry, has come up against industry-based discrimination, including from banks and other financial institutions.
Such discrimination can make it very hard to plan a financial future.
It’s never too late or early to plan for financial security. An interesting background story will not guarantee a job or financial security after working in the adult entertainment industry. Start on your exit strategy today!
