The lights of the Strip set the stage last night for the official opening of AAPL Annual #16, the most anticipated event of the year for private lenders, brokers, and service providers across the United States.
Monday blended education, reconnections, and the perfect dose of networking — with activities that showcased not only the best views of Las Vegas, but also the vibrant energy of an industry that keeps expanding and evolving.
The day began with a panel hosted by Baseline Software, followed by exclusive member training sessions, interactive workshops, and even a pickleball tournament that added a fun, relaxed touch before the evening’s main events — two receptions that perfectly balanced spectacular views and high-level networking: the High Roller Reception, hosted by Anchor Loans, and the VIP Reception by the American Association of Private Lenders (AAPL).
The evening began with a reception and lively networking session, where guests could also enjoy the terrace’s stunning view of Las Vegas. To the right stood the Venetian, the Sphere glowed ahead with its dazzling light show, and towering right beside us, the giant High Roller completed a picture-perfect backdrop.
