Compliance Summit Returns to Texas in September
DALLAS — Organizers of Compliance Summit have announced the next event will be held Sept. 11, 2017, at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas, near Dallas.
Held alongside Industry Summit for the second consecutive year, Compliance Summit will include one full day of compliance education for dealers, managers, and sales and F&I professionals. An onsite certification courtesy of Automotive Compliance Education (ACE) will be available to all attendees the following day.
Show chair David Gesualdo said the September event and ACE certification will be open to all registered attendees of Industry Summit for no additional charge.
“Considering the continued pressure applied by state and federal regulators and the sheer number of compliance concerns facing dealers today, this truly is a can’t-miss event,” said Gesualdo, who also serves as publisher of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom. “Thanks to the generosity of our partners, we are pleased to once again offer the event and ACE certification as an added value to your Industry Summit registration.”
More information about Compliance Summit, including a detailed agenda, will become available in the coming months. Stay tuned to the event’s website for updates.
