LAS VEGAS — Organizers of Agent Summit V have announced that Jim Maxim Jr., president of MaximTrak, will discuss the impact of new technology on agency operations in a keynote address at the event, which is scheduled for March 2–4 at the Venetian Palazzo Las Vegas.

Maxim’s presentation, “The Technology-Driven Agent: Embracing Change to Survive and Thrive,” will begin at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, March 3.
