SARASOTA, Fla. — Leedom and Associates is preparing for its 14th Annual National Special Finance and Buy-Here, Pay-Here Conference, which is slated for Oct. 12-14 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

The company announced that the deadline for early bird deals on booths is this month.

"We are very excited to be returning to Caesars Palace for our 14th Annual event," said Chris Leedom, conference founder and co-chairman. "Several years ago we were the first in the industry to establish an industry conference dedicated to the special finance and buy-here, pay-here segment of the market. Year after year we hear dealers say this is the only event they attend.

"Our training approach is unique, no commercials, just information that you can use to improve your business. And Caesars Palace is certainly a first-class venue for us to host this event. Our sponsors have really responded well to the idea of over 1,500 attendees at a single location all focused on special finance and/or buy-here, pay-here. And yes, the food, reception and beverage is the best you will ever find, we are guilty of going over the top." said Leedom.

This year the conference and trade show will feature more than 40 workshops and training sessions. The agenda will include everything from training workshops for dealership personnel to innovative new programs for dealer/owners looking to grow and develop their business.

Registration is $795. Exhibitors can reserve a booth for $2,000 before Aug. 31, which includes registration for two attendees. After Aug. 31, booths will be $2,500.

"We've added more booth space this year but still anticipate selling out early," Leedom noted.
