The critical role of proper cleaning and disinfecting to stop the spread of infection in the hospitality industry has become more clearly understood during COVID-19.

With such high stakes, best-practice products and solutions will be on the agenda as the cleaning industry reconnects at the 2022 ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo in Sydney on 14-15 September.

ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, is hosting the event at the Sydney International Convention Centre, where cleaning contractors, product distributors, local government, hospitality and healthcare sector representatives will be among the crowd.

Lauren Micallef, Oceania Manager ISSA, says the Expo is the first chance since the outbreak of COVID-19 for the wider cleaning industry to come together to acknowledge its impact on health and hygiene during COVID-19. “This is a real opportunity for the industry to celebrate its efforts over the past two years and to discuss strategies to excel in the years to come,” Micallef says.

This year’s event will feature more than 3,000 attendees, 70 exhibitors, more than 40 speakers, 16 free-to-attend speaker sessions, plus four in-depth workshops.

At the Expo, exhibitors will show off or release their latest products, services, and innovations at a time when many businesses are battling labour shortages. Expo attendees will be able to discover new technologies and processes that can make a real difference in productivity.

The education program promises to be a highlight, with speaker sessions covering a wide range of important topics, including corporate social responsibility; cleaner air in buildings; social enterprise and sustainability; technology and innovation; aged care cleaning and hygiene; the risk of working with chemicals; post-pandemic mental health and wellbeing;

the importance of collaboration; coping with change; and delivering successful tenders and quotes.
