P&A Leadership Summit Moves to Dallas in September
DALLAS — Organizers of the P&A Leadership Summit have announced that the 2017 event will be held Sept. 13-14, at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas, near Dallas. The industry’s only event for executives in the F&I product provider and administrator segment will be held alongside Industry Summit for the fifth consecutive year.
“As bittersweet as it is to leave Las Vegas behind after so many great years, we believe Dallas is an ideal, centralized location for our attendees,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of P&A magazine. “The Gaylord Texan is a first-class facility and we can’t wait to take it by storm.”
