Sanitary Maintenance, along with its sister publications Contracting Profits and Housekeeping Solutions, announced it will be hosting the Cleaning Innovations Virtual Conference & Expo, held on May 18, 2011 and archived on www.cleanlink.com. The online event will provide attendees with access to industry experts and suppliers that focus on cleaning in the commercial cleaning market.

The virtual trade show provides a cost-effective and time sensitive way for jan/san distributors, building service contractors, in-house service providers and facility executives to learn more about best practices in cleaning, the latest technology trends, the impact of green legislation on cleaning programs and strategies and solutions for employee training issues.

Cleaning Innovations Virtual Conference & Expo will offer attendees multiple online locations to meet their specific educational and business needs, including a plaza, exhibit hall, auditorium, lounge and resource library. Speakers and exhibitors will inform, interact and network with attendees.

However, unlike a traditional trade show, the interaction is conducted via Webcasts, scheduled group chats and message boards. Exhibitors will also provide information and demonstrations via virtual booths, and engage with attendees using online chat for private conversations. Attendees will benefit from additional online networking tools such as text chat, vCard exchange and more.

Cleaning Innovations Virtual Conference & Expo is expected to attract more than 1,000 cleaning professionals from across the country. The show is modeled after the CleaningGreen Virtual Conference & Expo that welcomed more than 1,000 attendees.

Attendee registration is free to cleaning professionals. For more information, visit www.cleanlink.com/virtual.
