Mark Your Calendars for Agent Summit 2018
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of Agent Summit are pleased to announce its return to the Venetian & Palazzo Resort Hotel Casinos in 2018. To be held May 20-23, this will be the eighth annual event drawing agents and agent principals from around the country.
Designed exclusively for automotive general agents, the goal of this event is to educate top GAs on the latest revenue opportunities, techniques, trends and challenges to help them better serve their dealer clients.
“We are counting on you to help us build an agenda that addresses your current needs as general agents,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “Let us know what topics you want to learn about and what experts you want to hear from. The advisory board will begin planning in the coming weeks, and they look forward to hearing from you.”
Registration for Agent Summit is expected to open in early 2018. More information about Agent Summit is available at the event’s website. For sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact David Gesualdo via email or call 727-947-4027.
