There are no events other than the 2 days of the show. We are working on the room block as I speak although people tend to stay all over. That said, staying anywhere else for SB weekend is generally not cheap. There are no formal trading sessions so it would be a good opportunity for you to arrange your own (that's what tends to happen). We don't encourage trading in the show room as there is not much space and it isn't fair to those who paid for tables. You don't need to be that well organised to set up on table. Might still be your best bet. Cheap enough at $225. I'm not going to publish a dealer list yet but there will be some prominent names that have missed the last few SB shows.
