MELBOURNE, Australia — Jerkmate has announced that it will sponsor Afterglow 2026, an independent, non-profit, industry-focused gathering curated by creators Nova Hawthorne and Harper Valentine.
Organized in partnership with major platforms such as Streamate, Stigma Health, Pineapple Support, and other industry partners, Afterglow is one of the first events of its kind in Australia to be curated by and for members of the adult industry community itself.
This year, organizers have more than doubled the production's size, expanding the scale while maintaining the intimate, curated atmosphere that made the event successful in its first year.
Featuring live performances and storytelling sessions, the event aims to create a space where performers and professionals can connect, celebrate their work, and showcase creative expression in an environment designed with safety, respect, and community values in mind.
Afterglow 2026 will take place on Mar. 22 in Melbourne, Australia.
