#CleanPeachy @ISSAShowNA ISSA Show North America Elevates Global Cleaning, Facility Solutions and Public Health Standards at Annual Showcase

ISSA Show North America, the most comprehensive global event dedicated to cleaning and facility solutions, gathered more than 600 exhibiting brands to connect with distributors, building service contractors, facility service professionals and residential cleaning firms at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, November 17-21. Bissell Commercial was especially impressive.

ISSA Show North America, hosted alongside the Building Service Contractors Association International's (BSCAI) Contracting Success conference, convened more than 12,000 registered industry professionals from 75 countries to discover products, technology, services and materials enhancing the standards of clean. Leading suppliers exhibiting on the expansive trade show floor included Clorox Pro, Georgia-Pacific Professional (GP PRO), Hoover & Oreck Commercial, Kimberly-Clark Professional, Nilfisk, Procter & Gamble Professional (P&G PRO), Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Reckitt Benckiser Professional, Spartan Chemical Company, Inc. and SC Johnson Professional, in addition to 137 first-time exhibitors.

"ISSA Show North America is the cleaning industry's most important event, gathering the entire industry and fostering innovation and collaboration through organic networking in the expo, curated meeting spaces and access to thought leaders. These connections go beyond the show floor, and into our homes, businesses, schools and establishments worldwide, ensuring cleaner, safer environments for all," remarks Ed Nichols, Show Director of ISSA Show North America. "Alongside the unparalleled access to these trusted brands and products, we celebrate innovation, the industry's emerging leaders, global contributors, game-changers and all those working to redefine how the world cleans and prioritizes safety."

In addition to its robust show floor, ISSA Show North America delivered 165 hours of conference programming across four days, including essential training, management courses and global trend presentations. Education topics included employee engagement strategies, artificial intelligence, robotics and automation, building customer trust, leveraging partnerships and much more. Specialized areas on the expo floor brought to life top-of-mind industry discourse through the Sustainability & Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Hub, Business Solutions Theater and the CleanMeet Zone, hosting panel discussions, networking meetups, educational presentations and roundtable discussions.

"This event is a true representation of the global reach of the cleaning and facility solutions industry, bringing together thousands of professionals from numerous countries, spanning every sector of the cleaning and hygiene industry," shares John Barrett, Executive Director of ISSA. "It is a testament to ISSA's worldwide position and underscores our commitment to uniting annually under one roof as we celebrate progress and collectively create plans for future success."

Innovation is a key component to drive purposeful change in the commercial and residential cleaning industry, which is estimated to employ 3 million frontline workers in the United States. To showcase the latest industry innovations, the ISSA Show Innovative Leaders Award Program and Innovation Showcase featured 33 new and groundbreaking technologies and products, including operational software, cleaning agents, compostables and air cleaners. Award categories included automation and equipment, business technology and digital services, facility solutions care, hygiene solutions and environmental and sustainability innovation. Winners were determined by a panel of judges that included professionals and thought leaders from across the cleaning and facility solutions industry.

Announced on the show floor, the ISSA Show Innovative Leaders Industry Choice Award was presented to Otuvy for its Otuvy operational software for commercial cleaning. Onsite attendees voted for the winner, considering factors like impact, practicality, sustainability, originality and competitive advantage.

Additionally, the annual IEHA Housekeeping Olympics, hosted Monday at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay, drew a spirited crowd cheering on teams competing in challenges showcasing their skills and teamwork. Among the contenders were eight teams from MGM Resorts properties, including Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, ARIA, Park MGM and MGM Grand. Ultimately, Resorts World Las Vegas emerged as the overall champion, claiming victory and earning accolades for their performance.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
