GSA’s annual training and networking event where they offer education on government acquisition processes has been canceled. It seems the austere spending environment combined with the threat of sequestration driven cuts has led the GSA to axe the Orlando event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were planning on attending to learn the ins-and-outs of procurement for your branch or agency, then you’re out of luck. But, if you planned to head down and party like it’s 2010<\/a>, then you can still get some cheap flights to Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the GSA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GSA Training and EXPO conference has provided a valuable forum for our partners to receive acquisition training. Expo has also created opportunities for government and industry to interact for the benefit of the American people.<\/p>

However, in the current fiscal climate, agencies and businesses alike have been forced to make tough spending cuts. After carefully reviewing the projected spending and attendance for this year’s conference, GSA is suspending Expo for 2013 in an effort to use our resources responsibly and to deliver better value and savings for our government partners, our vendors, and the American people.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
