Austin, Texas – IAS announced that two of its executives will participate on separate panel discussions at the F&I Industry Summit on Sept. 10 – 12, 2012 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. IAS also plans to provide hands-on demonstrations of the complete SmartDealerProducts software suite including the brand new tablet-based interactive menu during the event in booth #401.


IAS’ sponsorship of the F&I talent contest F & Idol is powered by SmartEye, the company’s transaction-based video and audio recording system. F & Idol recognizes the best F&I product presentations in several popular categories including Vehicle Service Contracts, GAP, Tire & Wheel and Key Replacement at the Industry Summit. IAS executives will be on site to hand over $1,000 cash prizes to each of the finalists along with the overall winner who will receive the F & Idol trophy and an additional $2,500 cash prize.
