It seems like a safe bet I'll be attending the PG Northeast Indoor Showcase in NJ in February and wanted to see if anyone has any knowledge on how it's run. Also worth noting the Sunshine NE is out of the question as it is the weekend before final exams at my school.

Wanted to bump this to see if I could get any more info.
It's similar to other PG Showcases, but it's condensed into 1 day and indoors.
Players stretch and then run a 40 yard, not a 60.
Players warm up their arms and then proceed fielding balls from their positions in the following order: all OF from RF, all 2B, SS and 3B from SS, all 1B, and then all catchers.
Then, depending upon your team, you either play a game with live pitchers or hit BP in the cage, along with the Zepp testing. All players will do both.
Look at last year's schedule and you'll have a better idea of how it's run.

Son went early on in HS. Good in that he got some measurables. Perhaps because it was indoor, but showcase though seemed to benefit pitchers more than position players.
Son wanted to show improved metrics after a hard working 3-4 months, and this was the perfect venue: good location (we live in VA), indoors, but most importantly there were no other competing PG events. So because it was the only PG event on the calendar, it received full attention from the PG scouts and evaluators.
If you live on the East Coast, your son has worked his tail off during the off season, and you want the full attention of PG on your son, this event is spot-on.
BTW: the 40 time is recorded and posted to your son's profile.
Strongly recommended.
