Exhibit sales for GSA industry partners is also underway, with space available on a first come, first served basis.

Tom Sharpe, FAS Commissioner:

“After last year’s Acquisition Training Symposium, FAS received excellent reviews from attendees representing a variety of federal agencies and industry partners. They all said how valuable the training and collaboration opportunities provided by GSA training events are. As the government makes improvements to the federal procurement landscape. GSA is developing new tools and resources to support this community of professionals. We are committed to deploying FAS’s acquisition expertise to lead this change and help the government buy smarter.”
