APRO members loved the idea of meeting in a beach or resort type of location after the Fuse 2015 in Daytona Beach so we searched the country to find a fun and desirable location that could fulfill our industry’s requirements. We found the space, accessibility, attractions and quality in beautiful Galveston Island! Put May 9-11, 2017 on your calendars and plan to head to the beach! While you’re in Galveston, mixing business with pleasure is easy as the island offers plenty of opportunities for exploring, from the adventure pyramids of Moody Gardens to the thrills of the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier. Visitors can learn about Galveston’s unique history at a variety of museums, like the historic mansion Bishop’s Palace or the 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA. In Galveston, even shopping and dining are historic, cultural experiences. The Historic Downtown Strand Seaport District boasts of beautiful Victorian storefronts featuring unique shops, restaurants and art galleries just a short walk away from Galveston’s Pier 21 and glistening harbor. its-island-time-galveston-logoClick here for full schedule of events.
