My suggestion:
1. Try to get something accepted by the event anyway. The Fedora name is
a big name. They might make an exception.
2. Put this event on the Event Page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents
This way, other regional ambassadors have a better chance of knowing about
it.
3. If you can't get any formal recognition at the event, just show up and
set up a cheap card table and a chair, print a Fedora sign, and make 50
CDs and lots and lots of collateral. What are they going to do, throw you
out? :)
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
