Gentlemen's Club Expo Intros 'ED University'

LAS VEGAS — ED Publications will introduce the first-ever ED University Certification Series at the upcoming 2019 Gentlemen’s Club Expo.

The educational sessions will include certification programs on: security and proper use of force, liquor liability and over-serving, credit card chargeback prevention and leadership/management training. There will also be a bonus seminar for DJs showcasing the “S.M.I.L.E.” training program.

ED Publisher Don Waitt stated that, “attendees will leave those classes educated about the latest developments in club operations and will receive a certificate of completion — a diploma, if you will — for having attended.”

"ED University" was added to this year’s program as an incentive for club owners to send key personnel to the convention.

“This Certification Series is an excellent addition to the Expo,” said RCI Hospitality President Ed Anakar. “I believe it will add great value to club owners and employees. The certification in most cases can help with litigation and insurance costs, and the training is invaluable.”

Jim St. John of the Spearmint Rhino club chain affirmed, “If you want to stay in business and be successful, you have to be knowledgeable on the key issues surrounding the industry. You should be sending as much of your staff as you can to learn, because you won’t get this information anywhere else.”

The Annual Gentlemen’s Club Expo will take place August 11-14 at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
