To kick off 2017 the first GFAF Expo is in San Diego, California (February 11-12, 2017) at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Wyland Center. This will be my very first time attending the GFAF Expo. Besides getting to meet vendors and get samples, I am most excited about the opportunity to attend classes and listen to the guest speakers.
