Agent Summit to Reward Early Registrants
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the first annual Agent Summit have announced that attendees who register by Feb. 11 will be entered to win one of three iPads provided by the shows media sponsors.
Additionally, organizers announced that early registrants also will be rewarded with a $100 discount off the registration fee for the eighth annual F&I Conference and Expo[http://www.fi-conference.com/] in September 2011.
“I am very excited about Agent Summit," said Adam Kimber, co-show chair and publisher of the event's media sponsor, Agent Entrepreneur. "We have put the agenda in the hands of the agents and our advisory board with the full intention of providing stellar education. Any agent will benefit drastically from this event.”
The Agent Summit, scheduled for March 8–9 at the Las Vegas Hilton, was organized following the success of a one-day symposium for general agents that preceded last September’s F&I Conference and Expo. The industry’s first-ever agents-only is expected to draw hundreds of the nation’s top general agents and will be led by many of the leading trainers in the segment.
"The agenda is quickly coming together and should be available before the end of the month," said Gregory Arroyo, editor of F&I and Showroom magazine and chairman of the event's advisory board. "The topic ideas coming out of the advisory board are stellar and really do hit the mark."
