Health and Safety Notice 

Due to surging COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations and in consultation with medical experts and public health professionals, the Partnership has decided to move State of Space to a virtual format to ensure the health and safety of our members and staff.

The Partnership continues to encourage Houstonians to get vaccinated and follow health and safety guidance to reduce the continued transmission of COVID-19 in our community. We will re-evaluate resuming in-person events scheduled this fall and keep our members notified when guidelines are modified.
