Winter NAMM 2017 is well underway.  It's normally dominated by the larger companies, so boutiques don't get as much exposure, but that seems to be changing. A lot of smaller players now have booths, so that is encouraging.  It's still rare to find one-man operation luthiers there. Lot of announcements for guitars found here:
