"Old Republic is excited to be sponsoring the Agent Summit event and the iPad giveaway," said Rick Malone, vice president of sales and marketing. "We look forward to a successful show and the beginning of a great tradition of Agent Summits."
The industry's first-ever agents-only event, a joint venture between F&I and Showroom and Agent Entrepreneur magazines, is scheduled for March 8–9 at the Las Vegas Hilton. Agent Summit 2011 is expected to draw hundreds of the nation's top general agents. The event's educational agenda is packed with keynotes, panels and workshops, all developed with the agent community in mind.
"I'm very excited about the agenda we've put together with the help of our advisory board," said Gregory Arroyo, executive editor of F&I and Showroom and chair of the Agent Summit advisory board. "I really expect this event to feel more like a meeting among agents, providing them with a chance to really take off the gloves and dig into the issues impacting their business. My hope is we'll see some strategies for dealing with these issues start to take shape during this event."
