The Road to Clean

Ready to see what's next for the cleaning industry? Whether you're a building service contractor, in-house facility manager, residential cleaner, distributor, or manufacturer, ISSA Show North America 2025 is where you want to be.

Taking place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from Nov. 10-13, this year's show is designed to connect you with the latest innovations, education, and professionals shaping the future of clean.

Imagine this: Thousands of attendees from across the globe under one roof. Hundreds of exhibitors showcase the latest technology, sustainable solutions, and cleaning innovations, along with a packed schedule of certification courses, strategic workshops, and hands-on learning sessions. If your job touches the cleaning industry in any way, this is your moment to plug in, level up, and come away inspired.

Come for the education

Stay for the transformation

Let's face it-keeping up with industry changes isn't easy. But ISSA Show makes it possible. The education program kicks off Monday morning, before the expo floor even opens, and runs all week long. You can choose from a variety of full-day or half-day workshops or certification courses, like:

• IEHA's Certified Environmental Services Executive (CESE)/ Registered Environmental Services Executive (RESE) credential: This two-day program is ideal for facility service professionals in the healthcare and hospitality sector of the cleaning industry.
• IEHA's Master Environmental Services Registered Executive (MESRE)/Master Environmental Services Certified Executive (MESCE) credential: This three-day master's program is designed for elite members who are committed to continuous improvement and professionalism in their field.
• ISSA's Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) Certification Expert (CCE): This workshop is for professionals in the industrial, commercial, residential, and public venue cleaning who want to learn the principles of effective cleaning management.
• Certified Workloading Specialist (CWS): Taught in Spanish, this updated course offers a workloading strategy with the ability to rebuild today's cleaning culture toward one of efficiency, innovation, balanced workload, and high-performance thinking.
• BSCAI's Bidding and Estimating Seminars: Held in conjunction with ISSA Show North America 2025, the Building Service Contractors Association International (BSCAI's) Contracting Success 2025 show features two Bidding and Estimating Seminars. The 101-level seminar is designed for leaders and sales professionals ready to make the leap from residential and specialty cleaning clients to commercial janitorial customers. The 201-level seminar is designed for anyone looking to level up their best practices and take their skills to the next level.

These aren't passive sessions. You'll engage directly with instructors, dig into real-world examples, and leave with tools you can use immediately.

Want something more cutting-edge? Then check out sessions on AI in cleaning operations, cybersecurity in facilities management, indoor air quality strategies, and a fast-paced sequel to last year's hit: Moneyball Season 2: Harness AI with Your Real-Time Data to Increase Margins and Lose Fewer Buildings.

Networking with purpose

One of the best parts of the show? The energy. Whether it's at the IEHA Welcome Reception, the spirited Housekeeping Olympics, or over coffee, you're constantly surrounded by people who get it-industry peers, new customers, mentors, even future business partners. And don't forget the Distributor, Facility Solutions, and Building Service Contractor Lounges, right on the expo floor.
