Mark the calendar now. The premier event for commercial cleaning professionals — the Clean Buildings Conference, curated by the team behind CleanLink and Contracting Profits — returns to Baltimore on March 25-26, 2025. Held at the Baltimore Convention Center, this two-day conference will be a hub of forward-looking education, networking, and cutting-edge product workshops. It offers an unmissable opportunity for building service contractors (BSCs) to propel their businesses forward. 

As the cleaning landscape continues to transform, staying informed and adapting to new trends is as crucial as ever. The Clean Buildings Conference provides the perfect platform for professional development. Over 25 educational sessions, led by industry experts, will cover a wide range of topics, from innovative cleaning techniques and technologies to business management best practices and regulatory updates. Whether it's challenges such as optimizing cleaning operations, improving efficiency, or tackling emerging trends, the conference has valuable insights to offer. 

Building strong connections with industry peers and potential partners is also paramount for success. That’s why Clean Buildings Conference fosters multiple networking opportunities through dedicated sessions, exhibitor interactions, and social events. Engage with fellow BSCs, share experiences, discuss best practices, and build a network that extends beyond a local market. This collaborative environment can spark new ideas, lead to valuable partnerships, and provide access to a wealth of industry knowledge. 

Clean Building Conference attendees can also learn from their peers by joining the Women in Cleaning panel discussion first thing on March 26 and the subsequent reception later that same day. From overcoming hurdles and finding inspiration to cultivating leadership skills, women from various corners of the industry will share personal insights into developing authentic leadership, communications strategies, establishing a trusted network, mentoring the next generation and more. All are welcome; come along for coffee and meaningful interaction.  

No cleaning conference is complete without a robust expo hall. With a wide array of industry-leading exhibitors showcasing the latest cleaning solutions, equipment, and technologies, attendees can explore innovative products first-hand. From sustainable cleaning solutions to high-performance equipment, BSCs will discover advancements that can optimize cleaning operations, improve efficiency, and enhance service offerings. 

A Collaborative Experience 

This year, Clean Buildings Conference will once again co-locate with the National Facilities Management & Technology (NFMT) Conference and Expo. In addition to benefiting from all that Clean Buildings Conference has to offer, BSCs will experience unique value to accessing the NFMT event, too.  

NFMT attracts over 3,000 facilities professionals, including building owners, facilities managers, and maintenance/operations managers. This unique co-location offers BSCs a chance to network with potential customers, understand their needs, and showcase their expertise. It's a valuable opportunity to build relationships and access new business opportunities. 

"Clean Buildings Conference 2024 was a resounding success, bringing together hundreds of dedicated cleaning professionals for two days of immersive education, networking, and exploration of the latest industry innovations," says Jill McDermott, CEO and general manager of Trade Press Media Group, producer of Clean Buildings Conference and parent company of Contracting Profits. "The event's integration with NFMT further enriched the experience, offering attendees unparalleled opportunities for industry insights and product sourcing." 

The Clean Buildings Conference theme, "Expanding Connections for Business Solutions," underscores the event's focus on future-proofing business, and the chance to exchange ideas with NFMT attendees is an added bonus. Sessions will delve into advanced cleaning technologies, cutting-edge sustainability practices, and forward-thinking strategies. Registrants that select the Pro Level registration will also be able to attend NFMT sessions, and thus the chance to gain insights into trends that will shape the industry in the future. Attendees will discover how to implement what's been learned to create a more efficient, sustainable, and resilient cleaning operation that meets the needs of customers. 

Investing in professional development and business growth is essential. The Clean Buildings Conference offers a dynamic platform to do both. Attendees can access invaluable industry knowledge, forge valuable connections, and discover innovative solutions that can take companies to the next level.
