APE - The Alternative Press Expo, Sept. 23-24, 2017

Still in the South Hall of the San Jose Convention Center, but it moved up a couple weeks and here's why:

"Due to a conflict with another pop-culture oriented event at the San Jose Convention Center in October of this year, APE was denied it's preferred dates of the first weekend in October." (from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login)

They don't seem to happy about that and because of this are trying to move to a new venue next year. But what I'm more interested in is the other "pop-culture oriented event at the San Jose Convention Center in October of this year". :O What could it be? Currently there's nothing listed during that time on SJCC's calendar. Heroes & Villains will be in December. My first guess is the return of Wizard World (they have been adding back some of their previous shows such as Madison, WI though San Jose is currently not listed website), and my second guess is the return of Big Wow, as there was talk of bringing it back (in addition to SVCC) -- but this seems less likely since Big Wow and APE would make a good alliance.

I remember hearing that the person that ran Big Wow had to sign a non-compete agreement with SVCC when it took over. I can't remember how many years it was for. Agree that APE and Big Wow would be great together.
