ISSA/INTERCLEAN MOVES 2010 LATIN AMERICAN EVENT TO CANCUN
Amsterdam 7 November 2008. ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association has selected the international destination of Cancun, Mexico as the new location for ISSA/INTERCLEAN Latin America 2010, which it hosts with partner Amsterdam RAI. The association also announced that it will launch the first-ever Latin American Green & Healthy Cleaning Symposium during the same week.
ISSA/INTERCLEAN Latin America will take place 9-10-11 June 2010 in Cancun at the acclaimed Cancun Exhibitions and Conventions Center in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Due to the closeness of Cancun with Central and South America, both events are anticipated to draw a large mix of representatives from countries across the region.
With its more than 26,000 hotel rooms and more than 7.5 million tourists a year, Cancun destination has become the most important in Mexico and one of the main hospitality locations in Latin America. This factor not only provides a preferable location to host ISSA/INTERCLEAN, but also presents a large market of cleaning professionals from one of the region’s fastest growing hospitality markets and a variety of other facility types.
Launch of a new green & health symposium
ISSA will launch the first-ever Latin American Green & Healthy Cleaning Symposium during the same week as the tradeshow, June 9-10, 2010. The event is expected to bring together academics from North and Latin America, along with government and industry leaders, to discuss the latest research and developments regarding environmentally preferable cleaning and public health protection.
“This is the next step in bringing together leaders from the Latin American market, in accordance with ISSA’s global strategy, to discuss the most pressing health issues and science behind cleaning,” said John Garfinkel, ISSA Executive Director. “And what better location to host our popular tradeshow and launch a new executive symposium than one of the most connected and growing locations in Latin America?”
