exhibitor funds.  All refunds will be distributed to those vendors that
have paid for their booth registration at a date determined by GSA.

 

 GSA has suspended FedForum for 2013

The GSA FedForum training and exposition event has provided a valuable forum for our Federal, state, and local partners to receive training on federal asset management, including fleet, aviation, boats, transportation, and real and personal property. FedForum has also provided an important venue for interaction between government and industry on best practices, policies, and industry products and offerings. We take these relationships seriously and value the perspective that our vendor partners bring to the FedForum community.

However, amid sequestration and government-wide budget cuts, agencies have been forced to make tough decisions. After carefully reviewing the projected attendance for this year's conference, GSA is suspending FedForum for 2013 in an effort to use our resources responsibly, and deliver better value and savings for our government partners, our vendors, and the American people.

Even with reduced budgets, GSA understands the importance of keeping our partner agencies abreast of the latest developments in asset management as well as offerings from our industry partners.

Those who have registered and paid for the FedForum conference and booth space should receive notification from A-S-K Associates, the contractor, who is responsible for the return of registration fees. A-S-K Associates can be contacted at: registration@thefedforum.org

If you have any questions, please email fedforum@gsa.gov.

Thanks,

GSA FedForum Team
