Clean ’17 Update: Educational Program Released

Twenty-one sessions spread across four-day exhibition coming up in June

LAS VEGAS — Clean ’17, coming to the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) June 5-8, recently released its educational program consisting of 21 sessions. The show website notes that all sessions will be held at the LVCC.

“The Clean Show sponsors are pleased to present a wide spectrum of education to Show attendees at just the cost of the low registration fee,” says Mary Scalco, chair of the Clean Executive Committee and CEO of the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute. “It gives industry professionals an opportunity to learn new techniques and trends that could cost hundreds of dollars in independent seminars apart from the show.”

Morning sessions will be conducted in classrooms; final locations have yet to be determined. Afternoon sessions will be conducted in a classroom set up on the show floor.
