This year’s Bobit Business Media Agent Summit felt like old times. That’s because it turned out to be the biggest in the event’s history.

The impressive turnout of more than 900 industry executives felt like a breath of fresh air after several years of pandemic-spurred slowdowns.

Its resurgence came as the summit co-located with the Ethical F&I Managers Conference for the first time to create many synergies for both events’ participants.

And the summit and EFI will return to the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas next year in mid-April with many of the favorite features executives have come to expect, along with a few fresh additions.

Already, the next summit is about 65% sold out in what looks to be another strong event.

BBM’s David Gesualdo is excited to see it back in full form after conferences in general took a hit in the pandemic-era years.

“We’ve been building it back up to that 900-plus number that we were at pre-Covid,” he said. “It took time. This year we’re hoping to exceed 1,000.”

The summit will again include a reinsurance symposium and be preceded by the Agent Entrepreneur eXchange event.

BBM’s Volkswagen ID. Buzz mobile video studio will also be on hand for industry executive interviews. And a headshot lounge sponsored by StoneEagle will give guests a chance to update their professional photos.

AEX will take place April 12 and April 13, and Agent Summit and the EFI conference will follow from April 13 through April 15.

We’re looking forward to hopefully seeing you all soon for what’s shaping up to be another robust industry gathering!
