The event the OP asked about is a tournament, not an individual showcase.  It is in Oct in Ft. Myers and would not be for 2015s since it is Underclass.  The big fall tournament for seniors is the 2014 WWBA Championship in Jupiter (late Oct) which is very hard to get into (would have to be on very high end travel team that receives an invite).  The showcases are separate, and I do not know which would be best.  Most showcases are not invite only...simply make a request to PG and they will more than likely grant it.

This is the event that got it all rolling for our 2016 last year.  He came in relief of one of our highly rated pitchers.  Probably 15-20 major conference D1s and 15-20 other D1 schools were there to see this pitcher.  He had a rough day and my son came into the game.  About half of those stayed and he has had consistent contact with a couple of those schools since then.

 

Lots of college coaches from all over the country at this event.  Son has been to WWBA 3 times and several other PG events all over the country.  Other than the 17U WWBA this summer most college coaches I have seen at a PG event.  Obvioulsy excluding the granddaddy of all events in Jupiter.

In both cases the coaches gave their cell phone number to my son's coach and said to have him call. Armed with that the coaches tell him to call them and update them once every two weeks or so.  If he calls and they don't answer both have instructed him to keep calling.
