Facts about the convention

There are approximately 30,000 Texas REALTORS® in the Galveston-Houston-Beaumont area – all within easy driving distance. For those outside the immediate area, Houston William P. Hobby Airport is only a 30-minute drive from Galveston, with shuttle service available. Ready access to the Galveston Island Convention Center and headquarters San Luis Resort on Seawall Boulevard means less out-of-pocket expense and time away from the office.

The Texas market continues to be strong – real estate is local.

Keynote – The Essence of Greatness – an inspirational message from award-winning motivational speaker, Rick Rigsby, Ph.D.

More than 40 hours of MCE (mandatory continuing education) sessions for Texas REALTORS® – topics include: time management, gadgets and tools to make REALTORS® more effective, tax strategies, customer relationships, risk reduction, and more.

Texas REALTORS®’ Night Out – Attendees are invited to take a ride on the Colonel, an authentic paddlewheeler, for dinner and a tour of beautiful Galveston from the Gulf of Mexico.
