BREAKING NEWS: VSCAC Becomes P&A Leadership Summit
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual Vehicle Service Contract Administrators Conference (VSCAC) have announced that the event will now be called the P&A Leadership Summit. The name change represents a new chapter for the F&I products segment.
"The P&A Leadership Summit is our answer to changes in our industry," said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom and Auto Dealer Monthly magazines. "This is our best opportunity to convene to discuss the high-level issues that drive revenue in the F&I office and beyond."
The P&A Leadership Summit will be held on the afternoon of Monday, September 16, at Paris Las Vegas. It will conclude shortly before the evening keynote and welcome reception for the annual Industry Summit, which includes the F&I Conference, Subprime Conference, CRM Convention, and Used Vehicle Retailing Convention. Industry Summit attendees can add the P&A Leadership Summit to their registration for an additional fee of $395.
Gesualdo said the agenda will include three "must-attend" sessions preceded by a luncheon keynote address. He described the keynote speaker as a "game-changer" and said the official announcement would be made next week. The website for the new event will be launched in early June.
The P&A Leadership Summit is a joint production between P&A and F&I and Showroom magazines. For more information or to inquire about sponsorship opportunities, contact David Gesualdo via email or call 727-947-4027.
