This looks interesting. It will be held on November 7. Here’s the blurb from their site:
The time has come to have an exhibition where the spotlight is solely on self-published books and authors. The first annual Self-Publishing Book Expo—or the SPBE as we’ve begun to affectionately call it–will bring national focus and attention to the fastest-growing segment of today’s publishing industry.
Unlike any other book exhibit, the Self-Publishing Book Expo will be the only event of its kind to highlight the books of self-publishing companies and their authors, and give them the prominence and prestige they deserve.
The SPBE will bring together many of the key players who make this universe the thriving area it has become, while simultaneously exposing both the houses and the authors to a greater audience of other publishing professionals, booksellers, media, and consumers.

This is great news for the Independent Publishing industry. Let’s hope that it becomes an annual event.
A lower the price of admission for spectators would attract more curiosity-seekers and casual passers-by.
This may inspire an Ebook Expo in March 2010, during “Read an Ebook Week”. … We can always dream.

I thought about going to this event. My final decision was that the strength of e-books demonstrates that I don’t have to maintain a physical presence to sell books, and I decided to not become an exhibitor. However, I may still go as a listener, and if I find any advertising opportunities, I may jump at them, too.
