IMHO I don't think it would work too well. It may draw some crowds, but will it help online sales? In then end probably not. I don't claim to know much, but one thing I do know is that most people that use their computer for porn do it for one of two reasons. 1. it's easy. They can log on and get porn right now without having to go to the store. 2. It's private. They don't have to worry about someone they know seeing them going into or coming out of a porn store carrying their copy of Anal Attack 16.

Most of the people who get porn on their computers don't buy anything to begin with so I don't see how they would shell out the cash to go to a convention to learn more about online porn.

That said, I think with the right promotion big sites with well known girls or well known sites in general (lightspeed, Raven, MILF Hunter, FTV etc.) could maybe do some business if they had a booth and for, say, $30 you got to meet the girl you like and you get a signed DVD and a picture. But beyond that I doubt many people would see a site they thought was cool, go home and type it in then join.
