Current State of International Travel By TWG Travel

HSCF 2021 Convention Still Moving Forward

Houston, TX – Houston Safari Club Foundation (HSCF) is continuing to plan for its 2021 Convention. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and international travel bans, the 2021 Convention has been moved to February 26-28, 2021, in Hall A3, at the George R Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. “We are very disheartened to see our conservation partners and peer organizations being forced to cancel or modify their annual conventions.
