Brian Reed to Helm Technology Panel at PALS 2016
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual P&A Leadership Summit have announced that Brian Reed, president of F&I Express, will lead a panel discussion devoted to electronic signatures at the 2016 event, which will be held Aug. 30–31 at Paris Las Vegas.
“Brian Reed has been a staunch advocate of advancing the universal adoption of time- and money-saving technology in the F&I office,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of P&Amagazine. “He is the ideal speaker to lead this esteemed group.”
The session, “eSignatures Today and in the Future,” will begin at 9:05 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31. Reed will be joined by Dan Doman of RouteOne, Tim Gill of Advent Resources, Andy Mayers of Dealertrack and MaximTrak’s Jim Maxim. The group is expected to address the evolution and current state of the technology, discuss its benefits and the rate of adoption, and take questions from attendees.
“The panel brings together an impressive cross-section of hands-on experience and knowledge about this technology,” Reed said. “We’re going to go from a basic understanding of how it works to how it is being used and will be used in the near future.”
