CHICAGO — Organizers of Compliance Summit, a series of regional events dedicated to front-end compliance, have announced that the next event will be held April 20–21, 2015, at the DoubleTree Chicago O’Hare in Rosemont, Ill. The Midwest event will follow a successful inaugural event held in the Miami area this past November.
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to bring Compliance Summit to the Midwest,” said David Gesualdo, show chair. “If the outcome of the Florida event is any indication, attendees will leave with an invaluable education in region-specific regulatory challenges and solutions.”
The Midwest conference will begin with a Welcome Reception on the evening of Monday, April 20, and continue with a full day of educational sessions and panel discussions on April 21. The events are open to automotive industry professionals who are involved in front-end compliance, including dealer principals, general managers, compliance officers, sales and F&I professionals and general agents.
Speakers at the Florida event included the head of the state dealer association, attorneys and dealership compliance officers. The agenda covered challenges specific to Florida and the Southeast region as well as a comprehensive review of current threats toward dealers and finance companies by the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Further details, including the full agenda and information about registration and accommodations, will be available in the coming weeks. For sponsorship and exhibition opportunities, contact Eric Gesualdo via email or call 727-612-8826.
