LOS ANGELES, CA – Adult superstar Julia Ann will share her insights and experience at the “Fine State of Things” panel hosted by AskMen.com on Friday, January 20 at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo.

The panel will run from 4 to 5 p.m. at Festival Hall C at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, 4455 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89169.

“I’m very grateful to be a part of this exciting panel and take part in this important discussion” Julia Ann said. “The adult industry today is facing a lot of challenges with the economy, technology, the political climate and the way people consume entertainment so it’s vital to get a good handle on the challenges we face and those that are still ahead.”

The panel will examine how porn, which is quick to adapt to new technology and is often the driving force behind its adoption, will adapt to future changes. The panel will also discuss what porn in 2020 will look like when it comes to tech, legislation, culture and more.

Julia Ann will be joined on the panel by moderator and noted sociologist and adult industry expert, Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals. The panelists will include Brian Shuster, CEO of Utherverse; Lee Roy Myers, award-winning adult film director; and Shirley Lara, chief operating officer of Chaturbate.com.
