Join more than 16,000 cleaning industry professionals, all determined to improve the industry as well as their individual businesses.
“I love to see all the big things and the small things that come to market that make things easier or allow us to work faster,” says Ed Selkow, president of Janitorial Growth Solutions and an ISSA/INTERCLEAN veteran. “You can’t walk into the exhibit hall and not become immediately aware of just how big our industry is.”

While the cleaning industry enjoys a variety of niche gatherings throughout the year, the single largest centers around the annual ISSA/INTERCLEAN Trade Show in Orlando, FL, the first week of November.

And it’s growing. At the 2013 Las Vegas show, three affiliated trade associations co-located with ISSA to maximize value and opportunity for their members: IEHA and ARCSI start a day or two ahead of the trade show while BSCAI follows the trade show with education and networking focused for their different member groups.

This year, two more trade associations are joining in to further strengthen the professional network among product and service providers united by their common interest in being the best cleaning company in their market.

CETA – Cleaning Equipment Trade Association – is holding their entire convention early in the week so that their members can enjoy as much time at the ISSA/INTERCLEAN Trade show as possible.

IWCA – International Window Cleaning Association – is offering a full-day Safety Program, backed by their partnership with OSHA.

Registration to any one of the five co-locating conventions includes admission to four Keynote Addresses, the Trade Show Floor and the ISSA Education Arena at the Trade Show.

Navigating the Trade Show – and Saving Time
You want to get the biggest bang for your buck, so the time you spend identifying your current business needs, matching that up with the exhibitor list, and programming your activities into the ISSA/INTERCLEAN 2014 mobile app (coming soon for iPhone and Android) will help achieve your goals.

Use the Attendee Planning Formula to make your plans to get what you need. Just as with your annual business planning, your convention and conference planning is an essential activity for preparing for success.
