Has anyone ever been involved in, or attended one of these please?
This is the type of thing I mean:
http://www.rarevents.org/

I think this is how it works:
There's a nominal charge to enter the venue, you go to/queue at your favourite author table to meet, purchase their books, and be able to take pictures/get autographs.
You can also have previously purchased books autographed (after all, if you've bought the book, you've proven you're a fan already).
The author pays to hire a table, and is responsible for their own promotional items, having a stock of books (fans can pre-order & pre-pay for guaranteed copies), payment, etc.
There's also associated meals/balls etc that take place around it.
I'm asking as I'm tempted to organise one here (the above events seem to be closed shops). I don't have the contacts, but others I know do.
