When budgets get tight, building service contractors often stop traveling to educational opportunities. With building owners still feeling the effects of the recession and not wanting to increase spending and as gas prices slowly creep back up, it’s going to get tougher to find the resources to attend seminars and trade shows around the country.

Fortunately, Contracting Profits is able to present one solution: a free virtual trade show. The CleaningGreen Virtual Expo and Conference is the first event of its kind for the cleaning industry. On May 11, without having to leave their desks, BSCs will have access to green cleaning education and products. Best of all, this trade show has all the benefits of a traditional show, but none of the travel expenses.

Throughout the day BSCs can attend five Web conferences featuring green experts Steve Ashkin, David Holly, Allen Rathey, Ian Greig and others. Topics include an overview of green legislation, partnering with distributors on green cleaning programs, environmental benefits of day cleaning, new product certifications and sustainability.

Between the educational sessions, visit the virtual trade show floor to learn about the newest green products and chat with manufacturers. And be sure to stop by the Contracting Profits booth to let us know what you think of the show.

Finally, bring your questions to the networking lounge and get answers from distributors and other cleaning professionals. There will also be scheduled networking topics, including building a green program, LEED and green cleaning for health. Come and share your experiences.
