A Message From ISSA President Laurie Sewell

Dear MSN Readers,

Laurie Sewell

It is my honor to welcome you to ISSA Show North America 2025, taking place November 10-13 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Each year, this event serves as the principal gathering for the global cleaning industry, bringing together professionals from across the world to share knowledge, explore innovation, and strengthen connections that move our industry forward.

This year’s show will feature four days of education and three days of exhibits, providing attendees with the tools and insights needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving marketplace. From sustainability to workforce development to the latest in cleaning technology, the sessions and demonstrations will offer practical solutions and forward-looking strategies for organizations of every size.

On the show floor, I encourage you to visit the ISSA Experience Hub (Booth 2147). This is the place to connect with ISSA staff and learn about the latest resources, including:

• INSPIRE, our augmented reality training platform for cleaning professionals, offering an engaging and effective way to build skills and enhance training programs; and,
• Elpha Secure, ISSA’s cyber insurance and security software program that helps protect your business from evolving digital threats.

The ISSA Show gathers participants from every sector of the cleaning supply chain, bringing the whole profession together in one place. Decision-makers, innovators, distributors, manufacturers, and frontline professionals all come together here to exchange ideas, build collaborations, and shape the future of the industry. In a time when cleaning is recognized globally as essential to health and safety, this gathering reinforces our shared responsibility and highlights the leadership role our industry plays in protecting people and spaces everywhere.

In addition, the show is an opportunity to engage with ISSA Charities and other initiatives that extend the impact of our work beyond the industry, strengthening communities and creating positive change.

ISSA Show North America is more than an event; it is a celebration of our profession and a reminder of the essential role cleaning plays in health, safety, and quality of life. I invite you to take full advantage of the exhibits, sessions, and networking opportunities that await you in Las Vegas.

I look forward to seeing you there and to celebrating our industry’s continued growth and leadership.

Warm regards,

Laurie Sewell
President, ISSA
