CalExotics celebrated the 30th anniversary of the ANME Founders Show with the debut of its Fall 2026 New Item Collection, alongside a Businessman of the Year win for Vice President of Business Development Austin Ferdinand.
“This year’s ANME carried special meaning for all of us,” said Susan Colvin, Founder and President of CalExotics. “As one of the founding companies behind this show, celebrating its 30th anniversary was incredibly rewarding. It was wonderful to connect with our customers, introduce our newest collections, and extend that experience beyond the show floor through our WTU livestream.”
The celebrations continued at the 15th Annual StorErotica Awards, where Ferdinand was named Businessman of the Year in recognition of his leadership and contributions to the pleasure products industry. Alongside the individual honour, CalExotics also received seven StorErotica Award nominations across many categories.
“Receiving the Businessman of the Year award is an incredible honour,” said Ferdinand. “I’m grateful to everyone who has supported me throughout my career, especially our customers, our partners, and the entire CalExotics team. ANME has always been about building relationships, and being recognised during the show’s milestone anniversary made the moment even more meaningful.”
