Agent Summit: Pick Up Badge Early and Avoid the Crowd
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the upcoming Agent Summit are advising attendees to join colleagues and speakers at the badge pick-up and happy hour that kicks off the four-day Agent Summit schedule on Sunday, May 21, at Paris Las Vegas.
“There will be a run on the registration desk on Monday morning, so I would encourage anyone arriving Sunday afternoon to join us for the happy hour and badge pick-up,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “It’s a great way to check in and start the event on a happy note.”
The two-hour reception, sponsored by MaximTrak, will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Agent Summit exhibit hall. The registration desk, sponsored by Accelerated Service International (ASI), will be open for the duration of the Sunday-evening reception and throughout the day on Monday and Tuesday before closing at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday.
More information about Agent Summit 2017, including speakers, sponsors, registration and hotel, is available at the event’s website.
