As for the PFS/SFS side, it's possible to get a support package from Paizo when running at a convention. To be able to do so, the convention needs to have 15 or more blocks of PFS/SFS activity (usually, each scenario counts as 1 block, but certain sanctioned content, such as Adventure Path volumes, count as more), which have to be announced to campaign leadership at least 1 month before the event. If convention support is granted, GMs get the scenario pdfs for free, GMs are awarded a special boon (unlocking an uncommon race to play in most cases), and players have a chance to win special boons and Paizo store credit.
