Agent Summit Agenda Focused on Growing Agency Business
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the third annual Agent Summit have released a promotional video featuring Randy Crisorio, president and CEO of United Development Systems Inc. and chairman of the Agent Summit advisory board.
The board was responsible for building the agenda for the event, which will take place March 4–6, 2013, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. In the video, Crisorio offers numerous reasons for agents to attend the conference, noting that the agenda is “loaded with content designed to grow our agencies’ business.”
“Power-packed headliners will draw agents from all over the country,” Crisorio says. “This is the only dedicated agent conference we have to learn and share with each other.”
Earlier this week, organizers announced that this year’s event has already set new records for attendance, exhibits and sponsors. David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom magazine, credits the conference’s continued growth to its educational slate.
“I can’t say enough about the hard work put in by Randy and his team,” Gesualdo said. “When we say this is a conference by agents, for agents, we mean it.”
