Tailor to Set Up Shop at Industry Summit
DALLAS — Organizers of the annual Industry Summit announced that tailor Greg Smith of Chalk Mark Custom Clothing will be on hand to take orders and measurements for custom suits, sport coats and shirts throughout the event, which will be held Sept. 11–14, 2017, at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Dallas.
Based in Layton, Utah, Smith co-founded Chalk Mark with his wife, Amanda, in 2012. He joins Industry Summit after exhibiting at Agent Summit for the past two years.
“We’re excited to be able to participate in Industry Summit,” Smith said. “We’ve had a fantastic time at Agent Summit and we look forward to meeting new clients in Dallas!”
As part of Chalk Mark’s sponsorship, Smith will offer one suit or one of two sport coats to three lucky attendees. Organizers will collect business cards from attendees during the 3:15 p.m. networking break that precedes Dave Anderson’s Best Training Day Ever session on Wednesday, Sept. 13. The drawing will be held at 6:00 p.m., following Greg Goebel’s evening keynote address.
“I can personally vouch for Greg Smith’s craftsmanship, and we appreciate his presence at Industry Summit,” said Tariq Kamal, associate publisher of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom. “Get in on the drawing and, if you are in the market, get yourself a custom suit.”
Registration for Industry Summit 2017 is open at the event’s website. Attendees who register by Aug. 11 will enjoy a $100 discount. To discuss sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact David Gesualdo at (727) 947-4027 or via email.
