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.
