In its ongoing effort to disseminate critical education and knowledge, connect buyers and sellers, and promote the advancement of innovation and cleaning technologies, the portfolio of ISSA Global Shows and events now covers five continents around the world.
“We’re excited to expand our events across five continents to serve more global communities and change the way the world views cleaning,” says Lindsay Roberts, Group Director, Informa Markets US. “By leveraging the strength of both partners, Informa Markets and ISSA, we are well positioned to scale events, experiences, and member benefits internationally.”
The Global Show Portfolio includes 10 events branded as ISSA Shows, Conferences, or Pavilions. Through Informa Markets, the portfolio has added ISSA Pavilions in Mexico and China, and ISSA Conferences in India and Southeast Asia, in addition to the flagship show in the United States. Through ISSA, the portfolio has added tradeshows in Canada and Australia, and through the ISSA Pulire Network, the portfolio has added shows in Italy, Russia, and West Africa.
“Access to educational and networking events enables organizations and their employees to expand their skillsets, create new business opportunities, and discover effective solutions that support commercial cleaning and facility management,” says Toni D’Andrea, CEO, ISSA Pulire Network. “We look forward to these upcoming events and to developing additional shows for other markets in the future.”
