Stage Set for PALS Technology Panel

Stage Set for PALS Technology Panel
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the 2013 P&A Leadership Summit have announced the details of “Ahead of the Curve: New F&I Technology,” one of two panels highlighting the conference agenda.
The panel will convene at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, September 16, in the conference center at Paris Las Vegas. The panelists are Brent Allen of StoneEagle, Service Payment Plan’s Robert Hymen, Kumar Kathinokkula of F&I Administration Solutions, National Automotive Experts’ Kelly Price and Christina Schrank of NAC.
David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom and Auto Dealer Monthly magazines, said news of the panel was creating buzz among registrants.
“You can’t put five heavy hitters in one room and not expect to get some attention, but the response has been overwhelming,” Gesualdo said. “Attendees want to know the game plan for the years ahead. New technology is critically important to F&I product sales.”
Topics to be addressed include the latest advances, mobile access to data, e-contracting and electronic signatures, how dealer and agent input shapes new offerings, and more. The moderator will be Gregory Arroyo, editorial director of F&I and ADM.
The P&A Leadership Summit begins with a 12:00 p.m. luncheon keynote and concludes shortly before the evening keynote and welcome reception for the annual Industry Summit. Industry Summit attendees can add the P&A Leadership Summit to their registration for an additional fee of $395.
