LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the first annual Agent Summit have announced that Gregory Arroyo, executive editor of F&I and Showroom magazine, has agreed to serve as advisory board chair for the event, which is scheduled for March 8–9 at the Las Vegas Hilton.


“A conference geared toward the general agent segment is long overdue, and I’m proud the magazines have taken a lead role in making the Agent Summit a reality,” Arroyo said. “We’ve assembled an all-star team for our advisory board. I look forward to working with each member to develop an agenda that not only touches on the industry’s hot-button issues, but also will provide attendees with information and training to better serve their dealer customers.”
