The 2025 GSA Conference, taking place in Arlington, Virginia from September 25–28, will again feature a series of three-day seminars. As in past years, a limited number of auditors are welcome to join select seminar sessions.
Auditors may attend seminar meetings as observers but are not formal participants. They may also hold other roles at the conference, such as paper presenters or moderators.
