Why:
If you did not participate in the past, whether as a fan or an exhibitor, you missed a lot—don't be left out in 2013. 2012 was another terrific year for the show. Attendance was over 3,000 attendees and exhibitors, along with dozens of printers, distributors, retailers, and other industry professionals.
There were over 500 people registered as exhibitors and we sold over 200 exhibitor tables. SPX has a unique format of only selling exhibitor space to independent publishers and not to retailers. This provides a very intimate and friendly atmosphere for our creators and fans to mingle. At the same time, there's a wide array of programming for all to enjoy.
