other than that, in September Ray Courts is resurrecting his show at
the Burbank Marriott.
there is a show in Syracuse and Cinecon in LA during Labor Day weekend
other than those, I am not aware of any US conventions for posters
again, as Peter says, the shows were killed by Ebay and it's always
entirely possible that the next Cinevent is the last Cinevent
