We continue to follow strict guidelines for conferences to align with the Office of Management and Budget’s 2011 directive on reducing government conference spending. Our approach ensures that every conference directly supports our mission of delivering value and savings to the American people and federal partners. We carefully evaluate each event to confirm it is mission-critical and conducted with maximum efficiency and integrity.
| Conference name | Total expenses | Location | Date | Total number of attendees | Conference description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FedFleet 2025 | $201,126 | Washington, DC | Feb. 3-6, 2025 | 1,280 | This training event enabled GSA Fleet, PBS and OGP to come together to train customer agencies and allow the federal fleet community network with automotive vendors to enhance their industry knowledge. GSA Fleet, OGP, DOE and industry attendees conducted training classes, participated in customer meetings, interacted with vendors and answered program specific questions. |
We carefully manage conference spending by requiring that conferences occur only when alternatives like teleconferences cannot effectively address the subject matter. Services and staff offices must minimize conference costs and limit attendance to essential participants. Agency leadership reviewed all conference travel to ensure attendance was critical to the agency’s mission. In fiscal year 2025, we approved 11 conferences costing an estimated $384,224, which supported critical mission objectives. These conferences served important purposes, including sharing information about our services, training federal employees and potential customers, conducting strategic planning, and facilitating collaboration with government and industry leaders. All conferences undergo review and approval according to our Conference and Event Management policy.
