Purchasing a full show pass also grants access to “Ask Frenchy” and the Industry Summit Honors, including F&I Dealer of the Year and the Dealers’ Choice Awards.

Ahead of the event, attendees are encouraged to submit objections or questions for the “Ask Frenchy” contest. “Ask Frenchy” is sponsored by IAS and hosted by the company’s vice president of sales and veteran F&I trainer Eric “Frenchy” Mélon. The contest invites F&I managers and directors to share the most challenging objection or question posed to them by a customer.

Five finalists will be selected to participate in a live training session and competition at Industry Summit; each will be offered free registration and accommodations at the New Orleans Marriott. The deadline for submissions is midnight tonight, Oct. 7.
