LAS VEGAS – Kirk Borchardt, an attorney and leading expert on the regulatory, tax and corporate structural aspects of the service contract and ancillary products industries, has agreed to speak at the 2015 P&A Leadership Summit, organizers said Thursday. The event will be held Sept. 9–10 at Paris Las Vegas.


“Considering the breadth and depth of Kirk’s experience in this segment, we are honored to welcome him to the P&A Leadership Summit,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom and P&A magazines. “I encourage attendees to have questions at the ready.”

In his presentation, “Solving the Industry’s Conundrums, One Question at a Time,” Borchardt pledged to take on challenging and fluid topics that beguile F&I product providers and are made increasingly difficult by a hostile regulatory climate. Areas of focus will include AO limited warranties and dealer-owned warranty companies, and Borchardt plans to leave time for an extensive question-and-answer period.


Fellow P&A Leadership Summit presenter and longtime associate Kristen Gruber predicted that Borchardt would deliver a memorable address.


“You can count on Kirk Borchardt to fairly (and creatively) present outstanding issues and risks associated with each question,” said Gruber, who serves as president of Dealers Assurance Company (DAC). “His background and knowledge about our industry make him the perfect person to tackle complex questions in this type of forum.”


Registration is now open for the P&A Leadership Summit. Attendees who register by Aug. 7 will enjoy a $100 early-bird discount. More information, including additional speakers and travel, is available at the event’s website. To inquire about sponsorship or exhibition opportunities, contact David Gesualdo via email or call 727-947-4027.
