Membership

The Space Planning Community tackles research, facilitates formal and informal networking, creates a common language, and builds the process for advancing the maturity of a discipline that is recognized across the retail industry.

MEMBER VALUE

Access a plethora of resources, networking opportunities, and training specific to space planning. With both individual and corporate membership models available, we have made it easier to dive into these resources and expand your space planning knowledge base and network. The Space Planning Community is part of the Association of Retail and Consumer Professionals parent company. As a result of this relationship, additional cost savings exist for corporations that are members across multiple active associations. To ensure variety in need and budget size, we have structured tiered levels of membership.
