Participating teams will compete in fun, creative, and classic challenges such as precision bed-making, mop relays, and rapid vacuum races, representing their organizations and demonstrating best practices, innovative techniques, and team spirit. Winners and standout teams will be acknowledged through industry media and celebrated in front of their peers.
