The 2025 Spring Conference is designed to be a “must attend” public procurement event. The event is GPAG’s most dynamic conference experience designed with a dual emphasis on professional development opportunities for both the novice and for the experienced procurement professional.  Classes will touch on topics that can enhance your leadership skills, your procurement skills, and your own personal growth. Novices and experienced procurement professionals will also have an opportunity to meet together in formal and informal settings to discuss challenges and issues related to public procurement.

The format of this conference seeks to ensure the exchange of ideas and best practices within the procurement profession. Attendance at the conference counts toward certification and recertification requirements for CPPB, CPPO and NIGP-CPP certifications, as well as recertification for the state of Georgia purchasing certificates.

The conference hotel is the Sea Palms Resort on St. Simons Island. Room rates range from $209/night to $309/night with a $5 per room, per night State fee ($15 for all 3 nights).
