After the Fuse 2015 convention in Daytona Beach, APRO members urged us to return to the ocean. We searched the country to find a perfect location that featured the space, accessibility, attractions and quality you’ve come to expect at APRO events, and we found it on beautiful Galveston Island, Texas. Located just 50 minutes from Houston, this subtropical paradise covers 32 miles of beaches, a region rich in history and culture, unique shopping and a variety of world-class attractions to make your meeting far from ordinary. Offering sweeping views of the Gulf’s sparkling waters, the Galveston Island Convention Center is the perfect spot for Fuse 2017: APRO’s National Rent-to-Own Convention & Trade Show, May 9–11.

Choices, choices, choices!

APRO will offer two hotel choices for 2017.  The San Luis Resort is a world-class beauty that offers luxurious accommodations just a few blocks walk from the convention center.  The Hilton Galveston Island Resort is equally as lovely and located just next door to the convention center. Both offer complimentary parking and great dining options.
