TAMPA — Organizers of Dealer Summit announced that registration is now open for the event, which is scheduled for May 3–5, 2016, at the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel.
“This is the event dealers have been waiting for,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom. “Get ready for three days of advanced education with the industry’s leading experts in a beautiful venue.”
Built by the editors and publishers of ADT and F&I and the team at DealerStrong, led by Greg Goebel, the event’s agenda was designed to cover the most pressing issues facing dealers and dealership managers today. Topics will range from sales, F&I, special finance and compliance to digital marketing, lead conversion and building wealth through dealer-controlled finance.
