ED (Exotic Dancer) Publications was established in 1991 and has produced the Annual ED EXPO since its inception in 1993. The company published its first magazine — the EXOTIC DANCER Directory — in 1991, and two years later, in 1993, established the Annual Gentlemen's Club EXPO, a national gathering of adult nightclub owners, exotic entertainers, vendors and industry professionals.

The event has since been rebranded as the ED EXPO and, according to the organizer, has grown alongside the industry it covers. The 2026 event is the 33rd annual edition. ED Publications also produces ED Magazine, the Annual Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show (The ED's Awards), and STOREROTICA Magazine.
