The Walkthrough
Welcome to our online exhibitor registration preview!
Moving SPX’s table reservations to an online system was a huge step for us and – we know – a big change for everyone who was used to the previous system and old school paper form. This update should make the show run more smoothly and allow us time to focus on YOU GUYS rather than shuffling paper.
We’ve prepared the following walkthrough out of an overabundance of caution. We want everyone to see the tool they’ll be using in advance and to explain a few of the quirks you might encounter in reserving your table.
Step One: Pick Your Payment
Step Two: Fill Your Cart
Step Three: Double Check Everything
Step Four: Enter Registration Information
Step Five: Processing Your Payment
Step Six: Sweet, Sweet Victory
While the online system is new, our table reservation philosophy is still the same. We’ve got a little less than 300 half tables for purchase and they are all available – first come, first serve – to independent comics creators and publishers worldwide starting Sunday March 17 at Noon Eastern.
There will be a wait list once we hit our initial cap – and yes, people really do make it into the show via the wait list!
If you have any additional questions based on what you see here, send us a note.
Best of luck to everyone come Sunday!

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.
