SAN DIEGO (June 29, 2016) — The high IQ society Mensa taps Kelly Shibari to coordinate the inaugural adult industry track for this year’s Annual Gathering. The CEO of ThePRSMGroup will be moderating two panels on Saturday, July 2, at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center in San Diego, California.

“I’m so honored to be asked to coordinate the adult industry track for this year’s Annual Gathering,” says Kelly. “Bringing the industry to such a highly esteemed group of people, who are just as curious about the world and its many different and interesting facets as I am, should make the two panels lively and fun for all who attend.”

The two adult industry panels for this year’s Annual Gathering are:

  • Porn Performers & Parenting
    • Jeanne Silver & daughter
    • Howie Gordon & daughter

  • State of the Adult Entertainment Industry
    • Aiden Starr
    • Ela Darling
    • Mark Kernes
    • Alec Helmy

“Our members are constantly seeking knowledge about every topic, no matter how diverse or niche,” says 2016 Annual Gathering Chair LaRae Bakerink. “Our Speakers’ Committee believes Kelly is a great source of information regarding the topic of the adult entertainment industry, and are thrilled to have her coordinate this track for us.”

Attendance for the adult industry track is limited to Mensans 18 and older; IDs will be required. To view all session descriptions, visit http://ag.us.mensa.org/pages/programming/sessions/.

A tradition since 1963, Mensa’s Annual Gathering has grown from a two-day meet-and-greet at the New York Belmont to a sprawling and diverse collection of programs, talks, games, and entertainment, typically spanning the July 4th weekend in a different city every year.
