HOTEL SCAM ALERT Please continue your support of the FGWA Convention & Trade Show and all convention activities by staying at the Caribe Royale, the appointed FGWA host hotel. It has been brought to our attention that unauthorized housing solicitors have been contacting past convention exhibitors and acting on behalf of the FGWA. Please note that the FGWA does not work with a housing group. They are claiming that they have a lower rate at the Caribe Royale than the FGWA. This is not the case. These groups are a scam and we suggest you do not contact.
