TAMPA, Fla. — Organizers of Dealer Summit announced that United Development Systems Inc. (UDS)’s Fernando Romani has agreed to speak at the event, which is scheduled for May 3–5, 2016, at the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel.

“Fernando brings hard-earned experience and market intelligence to Dealer Summit,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom. “The dealers in attendance will benefit greatly from his session.”

Romani joined UDS last year after a 20-year dealership career that culminated in an F&I management position for which he oversaw 33 AutoNation stores. Romani will present “Learn to Effectively Market to the Ever-Growing Hispanic Population” on Thursday, May 5, at 10:10 a.m.

“Are you prepared to capitalize on the fastest growing market segment in the country?” Romani asked. “Join me at the dealer summit where I will expose how to effectively market to the growing U.S. Hispanic market, from social media to deal structure. You can’t afford to miss this. I’ll see you in Tampa!”

Registration for Dealer Summit is now open at the event’s website. Dealers who register by April 1 will enjoy a $100 early-bird discount. For information about exhibition and sponsorship opportunities, contact David Gesualdo via email or at (727) 947-4027.
