STIMULATE Sexual Wellness Trade Show Nashville 2027

STIMULATE is a business-to-business trade show and conference for the sexual wellness industry, led by Nicole Leinbach Hoffman, who founded the retail publication RetailMinded.com. The organiser describes it as the only event of this kind in North America. It first ran in 2023 and was shortlisted that year by Trade Show Network News for its "Best Community Created and/or Maintained" award. It also runs a few smaller events during the year. The 2027 edition is held in Nashville, Tennessee. The exhibition floor is open on 2 and 3 August 2027, and a separate conference day follows on 4 August. The official pages do not name a venue yet; they only link to a hotel room block for visitors. Entry is limited to the trade. Retail buyers who qualify, medical leaders, industry specialists and other people working in sexual wellness can register, while the general public cannot. Vendors who are not exhibiting and producers of other trade shows need STIMULATE's approval to attend. The audience includes store and spa buyers, independent sellers, sex educators and pelvic floor therapists. Exhibitors are curated, and product areas range from pleasure products, lubricants and contraceptives to feminine care, men's and reproductive health, grooming, novelty items and emerging brands. Holiday Products and Eldorado Trading Company are listed among the distributors. One past visitor's testimonial mentions meeting more than 100 brands over two days. The conference side runs under the STIMULATE+Educate name. For 2026 the organiser cited more than 30 sessions and two workshops; the 2027 education schedule and show agenda are still marked as coming soon, and no speakers have been confirmed. The site's 2026 copy also describes an "Ask the Doctors" segment with eight physicians, from urologists to OBGYNs, and the STIMULATE Sexual Wellness Awards are part of the show. Attendees sign up through an online registration form, but no ticket prices have been published. Would-be exhibitors contact [email protected]. For AffHouse readers the fit is narrow and limited to the adult vertical. STIMULATE is a product sourcing event where brands meet buyers from stores, spas and medical offices; it is not an affiliate or traffic conference, and nothing announced so far covers media buying, offers or networks. It suits affiliates and publishers who promote sexual wellness products and want to meet the brands and distributors behind them. Access is curated, so affiliates should confirm they qualify before travelling.
