Texas Compliance Summit to Feature ‘Your Responsibilities’ Panel
AUSTIN — Organizers of the upcoming Texas Compliance Summit have announced that Tariq Kamal, managing editor of Auto Dealer Today, will lead a panel discussion entitled “Leadership, Teamwork and Accountability” at the event, which will be held Nov. 16–17, 2015, at the Hilton Austin Airport Hotel.
“We are counting on Tariq and his panel to shift our focus from the theoretical aspects of front-end compliance to the practical application thereof,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of ADT and F&I and Showroom. “We expect a hard-hitting discussion that will result in useful strategies and advice.”
The panel, which falls under the “Your Responsibilities” portion of the agenda, will be staffed by dealership personnel and experts from the compliance and F&I training segments. Kamal helmed a similar panel at the Midwest Compliance Summit in April.
“In Chicago, the conversation ranged from state and federal regulations to econtracting, deal-jacket audits and the Better Business Bureau,” he said. “We will reconvene in November to deliver the compliance content Texas dealers need and demand.”
Registration for Texas Compliance Summit is open at the event’s website. Attendees who register on or before Oct. 26 will enjoy a $100 discount. For sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact Eric Gesualdo via email or at 727-612-8826. More information is available on the event’s website.
