I would recommend Carbotech AX6 for your situation. You can drive these to the convention and home again. They will give you solid performance on the track as well. You can bed them on the street. This is for your front brakes, with NX2000 calipers. These pads would be marginal for track use with stock SE-R front calipers. For the rear, just make sure that you have plenty of pad thickness and you will be good. I find them OK for autocross use, but sometimes you have to be aware that they heat up and get a little more bite toward the end of the course.
Don't even think about EBC Greenstuff. They are nice on the street, but you will melt them on the track. I know this from personal experience.
When switching pad materials (like from stock to Carbotech) make sure to get your rotors turned to remove all residue of the old pad material. This will promote proper bedding of the new pads.
For brake fluid, I like the Valvoline fluid for the street, but want a higher boiling point for the track. I've had great luck with the Motul 660F/600F, as recommended by Boostlee, but lately have been using ATE Superblue Racing Fluid with good results -- and it costs a lot less than the Motul. You can get it from Tire Rack, and they also have an amber fluid with the same specs so you can use the color to tell when you have adequately flushed out the old fluid.
Whatever fluid you use, make sure to bleed your brakes and get fresh fluid into all the calipers before you go on the track (or leave for the convention). Any water in the fluid will lower the boiling point and encourage fading.
