Glass TEXpo will provide you with two days of top notch educational seminars, training and networking opportunities along with an extensive trade show floor close to home at affordable prices.

Take Off Your 10-Gallon Hat and Relax at the El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel
Located on the banks of the Riverwalk, the El Tropicano Riverwalk is a full service hotel that features two dramatic winding staircases leading to the second-floor courtyard and pool area, 306 comfortable guest rooms and Mango’s Restaurant, Express Bar and Tiki Bar – complete with a veranda that overlooks the Riverwalk.

These Boots Were Made for Walking

The Riverwalk alone provides dueling piano bars, the best of every genre of food imaginable, night life and the incredible handcrafted artistry, all within a brief walk from our host hotel.

Some other top tourist attractions are the Alamo, Sea World and the San Antonio Zoo. The city truly offers something for everyone. Visit www.sanantoniocvb.com to learn more about what the city can offer its visitors and plan your trip for Glass TEXpo.
