LAS VEGAS – Organizers of Ethical F&I Managers Conference announced the 2026 event – scheduled for April 13–15 at The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas – will feature a refreshed version of the classic ‘So You Think You Can Do F&I’.

The F&I scenario may consist of a presentation, an objection, a disruptive customer or any other daily occurrence that happens in the F&I office. Once all the finalists have done their role-play, the audience will vote for a winner.
