The International Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Council of Associations (IICRCA) is pleased to announce advance planning for its spring 2016 conference and trade show. The IICRCA specifically invites ideas, proposals and papers to be considered on topics related to inspection, cleaning, restoration and small business.

The IICRCA intends to keep the owners and managers of firms doing business in our industry up to date with recent findings and innovative new processes and practices. Also invited are views or new approaches to very specific cleaning science for handling viral health concerns, trauma cleanup, and the specialty environments of schools, daycare and health care.
 
The IICRCA’s conference schedule calls for two days of programming in both general and breakout sessions. Breakout tracks will be business related, broad industry interest, and cutting edge topics of interest to more experienced audience members. Presentation time will include adequate time for questions and discussions where appropriate. Panel presentations and audience involvement are encouraged
 
The IICRCA Events typically address various industry practices related to inspection of the indoor environment, or cleaning and restoration of the indoor environment. The practices covered may be accepted, novel or alternative. Existing standards and practices can be critiqued for janitorial, custodial, contract cleaning, maintenance and disaster restoration (fire, flood, water and mold damage, etc.). Thematic ideas include cleaning and maintenance technologies, efficiencies, futuristic trends for such industries, plus new data and field inspections.
 
Commercial approaches and marketing or product promotion is strongly discouraged. We have a venue for products sales outside the conference presentations.
 
Proposed title, authors and brief summary, abstract or outline of the topic or paper for presentation in spring 2016 should be emailed no later than September 15 to: memberservices@iicrca.org Submissions will be subject to confidential internal review for content, rigor and applicability.  Proposals that do not fit this particular event may be considered for other upcoming IICRCA events.
