Pre-registration Opens Nov. 3 for Clean '09 in New Orleans

ATLANTA — Pre-registration opens Nov. 3 for the Clean Show, scheduled for June 18-21, 2009, at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Anyone who pre-registers before May 23 at the show’s website, www.cleanshow.com, will see a discount on the fee, paying only $60 per person.
The fee includes all educational sessions offered by show sponsors and other industry associations, and access to the exhibit hall on all four show days. Attendees can see live demonstrations and more at the world’s largest exposition of textile care equipment, products and services, according to Riddle & Associates, the show’s longtime management firm.
After May 22, attendees can register at the show for $95. Children under 18 are admitted free, but they must be registered and will receive a “child” badge.
“Registering online at www.cleanshow.com is easy,” says John Riddle, president of Riddle & Associates. “However, the registration form can also be printed from the website for those who wish to pay by check rather than credit card. The form will be available in attendee brochures being mailed early in 2009.”
Globetrotter Travel, the show’s official travel agency, has announced travel discounts. Arrangements can be made through Globetrotter at 888-447-7432, or at www.globetrottermgmt.com/cleanshow. Globetrotter offers fares competitive with all airline and third-party sites and can provide additional discounts and services such as $100,000 in flight insurance, Riddle & Associates says.
