Agent Summit Sponsorships Are Going Fast
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual Agent Summit announced that sponsorships and exhibition space for the 2017 event have nearly sold out with several months to go before showtime. The event will be held May 21–24 at Paris Las Vegas.
“In what has become an annual tradition, after re-signing our sponsors from last year’s event, we are left with limited opportunities for 2017,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and P&A magazines. “We have a number of excellent options open to new partners for our growing event, but they won’t last long.”
Last year’s event attracted about 1,000 agents and agent principals, speakers, F&I product executives and special guests. The three-day agenda included sessions dedicated to F&I department and agency development, reinsurance, technology and more, plus a number of networking opportunities and sessions open only to agent principals.
More information about the 2017 event, including the full agenda, will be released soon. To inquire about sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact David Gesualdo at 727-947-4027 or via email.
