LAS VEGAS — Organizers of Agent Summit have announced that American Guardian Warranty Services Inc. (AGWS)’s Robert Harkins will serve as master of ceremonies for the event, which will be held May 9–11 at the Venetian Palazzo Las Vegas.

David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroommagazines, said Harkins was a “known quantity” based on past performances at Agent Summit and other events.

“With boundless enthusiasm, industry knowledge and genuine class, Bob is a ringmaster extraordinaire,” Gesualdo said. “He makes a very difficult task look easy.”

Harkins serves as vice president of training for AGWS, the company he joined last year after more than 25 years in the consumer finance industry. A highly sought-after speaker, Harkins has become a fixture at automotive industry conferences, including Compliance Summit, a series of regional events dedicated to sustainable front-end operations.

“Six years in and going strong, Agent Summit has established itself as an event to be reckoned with,” Harkins said. “I’m excited to serve as emcee and I look forward to seeing everyone in Vegas!”

Registration for Agent Summit 2016 is open at the event’s website as well as by phone, fax and email. Those who register by April 4 will enjoy a $100 discount.
