Randy Crisorio to Serve Sixth Term as Chair of Agent Summit Advisory Board
LAS VEGAS — Randy Crisorio, president and CEO of United Development Systems (UDS) will return as advisory board chair for next year’s Agent Summit, organizers announced. The event will be held May 20–23, 2018, at the Venetian & Palazzo Resort Hotel Casinos in Las Vegas.
“We are fortunate to have Randy at the helm of our advisory board for this important event,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “His hard work and unwavering support have helped Agent Summit grow, and we can’t wait to see what he and his team come up with.”
Crisorio will lead a select group of agency heads and industry thought leaders in constructing the event’s agenda, which typically includes a combination of workshops and panel discussions devoted to F&I development and agency-building as well as the annual Reinsurance Summit, an agent principals-only session, and high-powered keynote and motivational speakers.
Many topics and speakers have been added at the suggestion of past attendees. Crisorio encouraged agents to let their voices be heard.
“I have really been pleased with the growth of this event and thankful to both Bobit Business Media and Team Gesualdo for recognizing the stream of professional information that is exchanged each year,” he said. “The agent body shares great ideas and always returns to their market with their finger on the launch button with new products, ideas and concepts that drive dealer partnerships, and that’s what it’s all about."
“So get involved, whether it be as a board participant or speaker but please plan to communicate your thoughts and experiences the minute you arrive back at the Venetian & Palazzo,” Crisorio added.
