In a statement earlier this week, RAI Amsterdam, organizers of Interclean events, announced the decision to end their alliance with ISSA and pursue separate ventures. The first move was to change the name of ISSA/INTERCLEAN Amsterdam to Interclean Amsterdam, an event scheduled for May 15-18, 2018.

In response, ISSA issued their own statement refuting that the long-standing alliance is terminated. The association is currently consulting with its legal team to resolve the dispute.
