How does our beautiful city by the bay, San Francisco, move forward in the face of a global pandemic?
Participating in SF Travel’s 110th Annual Meeting – Recovery & Rebirth allowed the travel and event industry an opportunity to come together to better understand a path forward to welcome visitors and events back to our city, San Francisco. Curtin Convention was pleased to virtually attend the annual meeting and join our industry colleagues in the continued efforts toward planning for the recovery and rebirth of not only San Francisco’s event industry, but the rest of the United States as well.
Curtin Convention has supported countless events in San Francisco and cities throughout the United States during our 56+ year history. While we continue to ready our business for the return of safe LIVE events in our home city of San Francisco, we are prepared to support events throughout the United States. In addition to Curtin’s 56+ years of event industry experience, our staff is now certified as Covid-19 Compliance Officers and are prepared to implement the necessary safety protocols for your next event.
Curtin is ready, and we know many event planners are asking “where can we hold an event?” Northstar Meetings Group’s article provides a state-by-state update on the reopening status and event restrictions for each state. Read the full report under RESOURCES for more results.
Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Utah are among the states permitting gatherings of any size with strict social-distancing protocols in place - December 1, 2020
Whether event planners are ready to book a venue in one of the states open for gathering or not, we all know the time will come to book a venue for a LIVE event.
