Industry Summit Extends Early Bird, Hotel Deadline
Attendees who register by midnight this Friday, Aug. 5, will enjoy a $100 discount, will be offered accommodations in the event’s exclusive room block, and will be entered into a drawing for one of two $500 gift cards. The three-day event will begin Monday, Aug. 29, at Paris Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the upcoming Industry Summit have extended the early bird registration deadline by a week. Attendees who register by midnight this Friday, Aug. 5, will enjoy a $100 discount, will be offered accommodations in the event’s exclusive room block, and will be entered into a drawing for one of two $500 gift cards. The three-day event will begin Monday, Aug. 29, at Paris Las Vegas.
“We extended our deadline for two reasons: First, because we experienced a surge in registrations last Friday, and second, because, to our surprise, we still have rooms available in the hotel,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “To those who weren’t able to register until now, my advice is to get online now, secure your room, and be eligible for the giveaway.”
The drawing for two $500 American Express gift cards, sponsored by Old Republic Insured Automotive Services (ORIAS), will include every attendee who has already registered as well as those who register by the midnight Friday deadline.
“We are, as always, proud to sponsor and looking forward to attending the Industry Summit this year,” said Matt Curran, vice president of sales and marketing for ORIAS. “The event, like Old Republic, continues to grow year over year. This year’s agenda is packed with relevant and important information for anyone in our industry.”
