This weekend, one of the most anticipated events in our area will be going on in-person.
The Bridal Extravaganza's organizers said they have specific safety measures in place, which are outlined on its webpage.
Meanwhile, the event manager for Houston First Corporation, the group that works to recruit large meetings and conventions to Houston, issued the following statement:
"Houston First's number one priority is the safety of its staff and participants at any event taking place at the facilities we manage. The Bridal Extravaganza event scheduled to take place at the GRB, January 9-10, 2021 has met all safety protocols established by Houston public health officials, including City Health Director, Dr. David Persse. The event organizer has modified its procedures to make sure the event is as safe as possible for its staff and attendees. The organizer is available to provide specific details on these modified procedures at this year's event. Additionally, Houston First Corp. (HFC) has implemented a number of precautions within the facility to ensure the safety of workers and participants, which include being the first convention center in the country to use the Integrated Viral Protection, a new biodefense air filtration system developed by Medistar. HFC also helped launch Houston Clean, a citywide commitment to enhanced health precautions designed to mitigate the spread of the virus."
