LAS VEGAS — Organizers of Agent Summit have announced that the seventh annual event is scheduled for May 21–24, 2017, at Paris Las Vegas.
Launched in 2011, the event draws about 1,000 agents and agent principals, speakers and exhibitors and remains the only conference designed by and for independent general agents.
“With less than six months before showtime and a litany of topics and speakers to consider, much work lays ahead,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur. “With the help of our advisory board, we pledge to deliver the best agenda yet for a show we hope will appear on every agent’s calendar in 2017.”
Registration for Agent Summit is expected to open in early 2017. More information about Agent Summit is available at the event’s website. For sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact Eric Gesualdo via email hidden; JavaScript is required
