LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual Agent Summit have announced that BOK Financial’s Jim Huntzinger has agreed to speak at the 2016 event, which will be held May 9–11 at the Venetian Palazzo in Las Vegas.
“Jim’s 30-plus years of financial and investment expertise are a welcome addition to the Agent Summit agenda,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom magazines. “He will have a room full of entrepreneurs hanging on his every word.”
Huntzinger serves as executive vice president and chief investment officer of BOK Financial, a $30 billion regional financial services company based in Tulsa, Okla. He joined the company in 1982, when it was known as Bank of Oklahoma, and quickly rose through the executive ranks. His session, “U.S. Economic and Market Outlook,” will include a review of current economic trends, including job growth, vehicle sales, interest rates and energy concerns.
“I look forward to greeting the Agent Summit crowd and diving into a frank discussion of the economic climate,” Huntzinger said. “I hope to explain exactly how we got here — and where we are headed.”
Registration for Agent Summit is now open at the event’s website as well as by phone, fax and email. Attendees who register by April 4 will enjoy a $100 discount. To inquire about sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact Eric Gesualdo via email or call 727-612-8826.
