PALS Room Block Nearly Full
LAS VEGAS – Organizers of the 2015 P&A Leadership Summit have announced that the event’s room block at Paris Las Vegas is nearly full. The event, which will be held Sept. 9–10, is expected to once again draw a large crowd of executives representing the F&I product and administration segment.
“Given the caliber of speakers, content and opportunities for interaction with experts and thought leaders, it should come as no surprise that we are already near capacity,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom and P&A magazines. “I encourage those who are on the fence about attending the conference or staying at Paris Las Vegas to register for both today.”
Organizers reported surging registration numbers spurred by press releases announcing new speakers, including the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)’s Bill Fox and Andrew Koblenz, Kristen Gruber of Dealers Assurance Company (DAC), The Warranty Group’s Aaron Lunt and Brian Reed and Mike Burgiss of F&I Express and MakeMyDeal, to name a few.
Additional highlights will include hard-hitting panel discussions and Q&A sessions with speakers as well as evening receptions and other networking opportunities.
Registration and information about accommodations and travel is available the event’s website. Attendees who register for the P&A Leadership Summit by Aug. 7 will enjoy a $100 early-bird discount.
To inquire about sponsorship or exhibition opportunities, contact David Gesualdo via email or call 727-947-4027.
