Reinsurance Symposium Returns to Agent Summit
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the upcoming Agent Summit have confirmed the 2017 event will feature a Reinsurance Symposium for the fifth consecutive year. The four-day event will begin on the evening of Sunday, May 21, at Paris Las Vegas, with the Reinsurance Symposium scheduled for the following afternoon.
“The Reinsurance Symposium has been an indispensable source of information and education since it was launched in 2013,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur. “Agents are rightfully invested in the topic and deserve a clear explanation of the options available to their agencies and their dealer clients.”
This year’s Reinsurance Symposium schedule includes a lunch with sponsors, a panel dedicated to controlled foreign corporations (CFCs), a second panel on non-controlled foreign corporations (NCFCs), and two networking breaks.
Portfolio and SouthwestRe are the lead sponsors for the symposium; CNA National, GSFSGroup, Protective Asset Protection and The Tribal Domicile are premier-level sponsors. Cornerstone Financial Consulting (div. Raymond James), Goodwin & Speirs Investment Group, J. Huell Briscoe and Associates, MarksNelson and SunTrust Reinsurance Trust Services are general sponsors.
Registration for Agent Summit is open at the event’s website. Attendees who register by April 21 will enjoy a $100 discount. To discuss sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact David Gesualdo at 727-947-4027 or via email.
