There was a con where the LA Free Press photos of L.A.Con I were displayed. Was that the 99 Nasfic?

I don’t remember the Dillon exhibit at L.A.con I in 1972 but I do remember a massive exhibit of their works (most or all borrowed from Harlan’s personal collection of their work) at the 1999 NASFiC in Anaheim.
