X -- GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION SPONSORS PRIVATE SECTOR REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY CONFERENCE

The General Services Administration (GSA) is sponsoring an industry conference aimed at private sector real estate professionals in the Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas areas to introduce the Automated Advanced Acquisition Program (AAAP). This program provides a monthly opportunity for offering building space for lease to the Federal Government through an automated system. The conference is scheduled for August 28, 2006, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at a location to be determined, allowing real estate firms to learn about the AAAP and provide input on the program's implementation. Interested participants were invited to register via email between August 9 and August 23, 2006. The event seeks to foster collaboration and enhance understanding of federal leasing opportunities under the AAAP. While Sherrie B. Young-Johnson is the designated Realty Specialist contact for the program, registrants were advised not to contact her directly in response to the advertisement. The GSA office organizing this initiative is based in Fort Worth, TX, serving as a liaison between the government and real estate market participants in the region.
