Meetings among the executives have already commenced, said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of P&A magazine, and their principal task is to sort through long lists of potential topics and speakers in pursuit of an agenda that matches the needs and expectations of their peers.

“The combined experience and industry savvy of this group is unmatched, and their contribution to our event cannot be overstated,” Gesualdo said. “We are relying on David Trinder and his team to once again create an agenda that cements PALS as the must-attend event for leaders in the F&I industry.”
