After hosting in Dallas for the first time last year, the ISSA Show North America returns to Las Vegas for its annual convention and trade show Nov. 18 through Nov. 21. Despite a later start date than previous years, the insight to be gained over four days of seminars, banquets and exhibits don't need to stay in Vegas.
An enormous exhibit hall is the trademark of any ISSA Show, and this year is no different. The expected 16,000-plus attendees representing over 67 countries can peruse over 600 different exhibitors in a jam-packed Las Vegas Convention Center from Nov.19 through Nov. 21. Distributors seeking help navigating the show floor can take advantage of guided group tours with the purchase of an all-access pass, starting on the 19th between 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Located in Central Hall, the floor plan is simplified through a series of specialty areas and pavilions, designed to group exhibitors together based on attendee interests. For example, exhibitors with new products to the market will be featured as part of the Startup Village. Attendees are encouraged to stop by this very popular area to check out a whole new crop of cleaning products in person. The First Time Exhibitor Pavillion will showcase products from companies who have never been to the ISSA show.
Outside those new exhibitors, the bulk of the show floor is where distributors will find tried-and-true products to keep their operations running smoothly. It's also where manufacturers will display new products and innovations worth exploring.
As if that weren't enough, distributors that diversify outside of jan/san might benefit from visiting exhibitors in the specialty pavilions. Specific sections of the show floor will highlight products and companies focusing on restoration, international products and even residential cleaning.
The show floor is a great spot to reunite with old colleagues or finally meet a connection in person, but there are also several networking opportunities available after hours throughout the week at Bally's Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.
On Monday Nov. 18, ISSA members are encouraged to celebrate at the ISSA Welcome Reception from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event is an opportunity for ISSA members of all divisions to reconvene in a casual, party-like atmosphere.
Wednesday night offers evening roundtable sessions scheduled from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at Bally's. The roundtables allow attendees the opportunity to share ideas, ask questions and gain insight from different corners of the industry.
