After a quick poke around the SPJA Web site, I think it's the "Fandom
Industry Management Reception" mentioned here:

Which I can't recall ever hearing about before, even though this site
says it's been happening since 2008. (Does anyone remember it being
mentioned during the lead-up to the formation of the Anime Event
Planners' Conference? Seems like it should have come up then if there
were anyone on the list that knew about it.)
