LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the upcoming Agent Summit have announced that Robert “Bob” Harkins, vice president of training for the American Guardian Group of Companies, will return as master of ceremonies for the 2018 event, which is scheduled for May 20–23 at the Venetian & Palazzo Resort Hotel Casinos in Las Vegas.


“Although we have come to rely on Bob for his talent and expertise, we do not take him for granted,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “Few speakers can match his energy and enthusiasm, and we are grateful to have him for another tour.”

Harkins has been a mainstay at the Summit series of events and is fresh off a four-day schedule at Industry Summit in Dallas in September. As a highly regarded trainer and executive, he will be tasked with directing the crowd and introducing speakers and topics throughout Agent Summit.


“Agent Summit is one of my favorite events. We will have much ground to cover and a focused group of attendees and speakers,” Harkins said. “I look forward to seeing you in Vegas!”
