LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the fourth annual Agent Summit have announced that Robert Harkins will serve as master of ceremonies for the 2014 event, scheduled for March 10–12 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Harkins is vice president and director of training for the AFG Training Academy and founder and president of RAH Consulting. He is an accomplished speaker, having served as emcee at September’s P&A Leadership Summit and delivered countless sessions, workshops and keynote addresses at past events.
“Bob has been a tireless supporter of our show and he is a professional, polished speaker,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “Agent Summit emcee is a demanding job, but we have no doubt he is up to the task.”
Gesualdo noted that Harkins joins an exclusive group: United Development Systems Inc. (UDS)’s Gerry Gould and Luis Garcia of Safe-Guard Products International, both top trainers, held the same position in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
“I’m honored to have been asked to emcee Agent Summit 2014 and join the ranks of such amazing talent,” said Harkins. “It’s a fantastic show, that no agent in today’s industry can afford to miss. I look forward to being part of the event.”
Registration for Agent Summit 2014 will open soon. For exhibition and sponsorship opportunities, contact Eric Gesualdo at (727) 612-8826 or email hidden; JavaScript is required
