APRO’s Annual Rent-to-Own Convention and Trade Show

 

This annual event is the largest, most-prestigious event dedicated to the rent-to-own industry. More than just a trade show, the APRO Rent-to-Own Convention and Trade Show includes educational seminars offered by top speakers and RTO industry experts from across the country, as well as the annual APRO Rental Roundtable which brings together rent-to-own professionals for in-depth conversation and education. 

 

The networking opportunities with fellow dealers and vendors are unparalleled and there are always wonderful social events—not to mention the annual Tom Kitchens/Joe Eason Golf Tournament—to make the event memorable. Hundreds of owners, managers and store employees representing both large and small rent-to-own companies attend this show.

APRO’s Dave Egan Legislative Conference

 

The best way to assure that the rent-to-own industry receives favorable legislation is for rental dealers to work together in forming a successful grassroots campaign.

 

Held annually, in Washington, D.C., APRO’s Dave Egan Legislative Conference gives dealers the opportunity to meet with their senators and representatives to discuss the importance of a federal definition for the rent-to-own transaction.
