Crisorio to Head Agent Summit Advisory Board
LAS VEGAS — Randy Crisorio, president and CEO of United Development Systems Inc. (UDS), has agreed to serve as chairman of the Agent Summit conference’s advisory board.
“As a top agent and industry leader, Randy fits the bill,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom magazine. “The fact that he has been part of the show since the start is also a major plus.”
Crisorio delivered the keynote address at the first Agent Summit 2011. At this year’s conference, he presented the much-discussed “Reinsurance for Agents” session with GPW and Associates’ Greg Petrowski. As head of the advisory board, his responsibilities will include work on the agenda as well as development of the conference’s new small-business track.
“Agent Summit is an absolute must for career-minded agents in pursuit of more cash!” Crisorio said. “It’s really that simple, and here is why: The presenters engaged for the Summit deliver expertise not found through any other central medium. This is the only agent-specific gathering available to our industry and the exchanges among contemporaries always contain some of those golden nuggets of informed ideas and practices. It is our responsibility to our dealer clients to be up to speed on the latest products and technology driving our business and this assembly is a ‘can’t miss’ for providers.
“So, if growth is in your scope,” Crisorio added, “this is a once-a-year, don’t-miss Event.”
Agent Summit 2013 is scheduled for March 4-6 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Registration will open October 22nd. For information about exhibition and sponsorship opportunities, contact David Gesualdo via email or call (727) 947-4027.
