GPFS Resources | “GPFS has been a fixture in Portland for decades, and provides a wonderful way to network with customers and other commercial members. We are thankful for all the opportunities that have come our way through our commercial membership, and for the professionalism of the organization.” Canter Flute Repair “GPFS is one of the most supportive festivals that we attend throughout the year. You always go the extra mile to take care of your exhibitors, something that is not lost on us. It is greatly appreciated.” Wm. S. Haynes “I was delighted to see a conference that was so concerned about the exhibitors! This is a rarity! You made us feel welcome and an important part of your conference… You are miles ahead in attendance, traffic, sales, organization, and courtesy.” Treble C Music |
