PALS Room Block, Early-Bird Discount Extended
LAS VEGAS – Organizers of the upcoming P&A Leadership Summit have announced the addition of a second hotel room block and an extension of the early-bird registration deadine. The event is scheduled for Sept. 9–10, 2015, at Paris Las Vegas.
“The release of the full agenda typically spurs a wave of registrations, but not to the extent we experienced last week,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom and P&A magazines. “True to form, our friends at Paris Las Vegas have been gracious enough to open a second room block at the same discounted rate, so we decided to extend the early-bird deadline as well.”
Rooms in the P&A Leadership Summit room block will be available until Aug. 21 or until the block sells out. The $100 early-bird discount, originally set to expire Aug. 7, has been extended to this Friday, Aug. 14. With less than one month before the event’s Sept. 9 start date, organizers have urged attendees to register without delay.
Further details about registration and the full agenda are available at the event’s
website. To inquire about sponsorship or exhibition opportunities, contact David Gesualdo via email or call 727-947-4027.
