CETA enhances membership value and annual convention networking by joining forces with ISSA/INTERCLEAN.
CETA – the Cleaning Equipment Trade Association – is a dynamic organization, continually looking for ways to expand and improve solutions for our members who face an ever-changing marketplace – especially ways to differentiate themselves from the competition while increasing profitability and professionalism.
Who are CETA’s members? The manufacturers and distributors of the cleaning equipment that empowers cleaning technicians in their routine job performance as well as specialty services for their customers.
One of our most exciting member enhancements this year is the co-location of CETA’s Annual Convention with the ISSA/INTERCLEAN Trade Show. CETA has a dedicated pavilion on the trade show floor: Booth # 386. For CETA’s distributor members, this is an opportunity to seek out new product lines, attend education classes and participate in the annual business meeting. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn what CETA has been doing to help you build your future.
Convention Kicks Off with Our Charity Golf Tournament
Activities kick off on Monday, November 3, 2014 with a 12:30 pm shotgun start at The Shingle Creek Golf Club, rated one of Orlando’s best courses since opening in 2003.

The CETA Education Foundation is always looking for ways to continue scholarships for CETA members and their families. Make plans to participate!
