Scheduled to take place from April 13 to 16, the Federal Acquisition Service Training 2020 event and all associated meetings were dropped to ensure the health and safety of the attendees, GSA said Thursday.

GSA is considering virtual options to conduct the event in the future.

FAST 2020 aims to discuss underutilized acquisition strategies, explore various trends, optimize the participants' procurement approaches and link government and the industry to speed up modernization efforts.
