I agree with Eadric.  This falls under the purview of the autocrat.

However, before the autocrat asks for a consultation table at his or 
her event, he should be quite sure there is a real need.  There 
should be at least a few  people who will be at that event that want 
to meet with a heraldic consultant and are ready to go forward with 
the process.  Otherwise, it is not worth the hassle of hauling all 
those books and paperwork around if no one is going to use the 
service.
