Oh wow, that's really good. I wonder if @minion-queen knows. @katie is roughly local so could attend pretty easily. We work with GFI so it's not a bad idea.

I saw it but hadn't explored it too much. Sending @katie would be good.

We don't attend too many conferences. Where and when is this one?
Orlando in september. They're offering a 70% off if ordered before the 1st of next month. so instead of 1200 becomes 399. CHECK IT
That's a real good deal. Hotels in Orlando are pretty cheap, and it's easy enough for me to drive up.

Why would you go to a vendor conference?
There are many reasons to do so, most notably the business networking that takes place at events like these. Because this one is vendor-specific, you could expect to attend sessions focused on issues relating to use of the product or use-cases. It's an excellent opportunity to get out of the office.
After the daytime hours, it's not uncommon for there to be a vendor-sponsored happy hour or party. Also good for more relaxed networking and socialisation.
Bring a fistful of business cards, because you will want to exchange with others you meet.
Bring something with which to take notes. Sometimes you'll be given a notebook sponsored by some vendor, but sometimes not.
Wear comfortable shoes. Lots of walking around.I hope that helps a little.

Vendor conferences can be very good. Especially for networking. Good chance to keep in touch with other people doing what you are doing.
