We hear from attendees each year that seeing innovations in the cleaning industry is one of the top 3 reasons to return each year. Back by popular demand is our Innovation Award Program, where your expertise matters and your votes count.
We need your voice in determining the most innovative products and services in the industry. As the industry transforms and the needs of our building occupants change, your voice will make an impact in the future of the commercial, institutional, and residential cleaning community.
The Innovation Award Program platform recognizes as many as 50 products and/or services in the industry each year.
