The cleaning and facility solutions industry never stops moving, constantly offering new ideas, products, and equipment. But once a year, its offerings all land in one place—with a big bang.

ISSA Show North America 2026 returns to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas from Nov. 16-19. The show is built for everyone involved with cleaning—building service contractors (BSCs), in-house facility managers, distributors, residential cleaners, manufacturers, and more.

Picture thousands of professionals from across the globe under one roof. Hundreds of exhibitors fill the expo floor with the latest technology, sustainable solutions, and cleaning innovations, all wrapped around a packed schedule of education and training, certification courses, strategic workshops, and hands-on learning. The numbers tell the story: A survey of past visitors reports that 82% discover new products and trends, 76% use the show to stay current, and 60% leave with new peer connections. If your job touches the cleaning industry in any way, this is your moment to plug in, level up, and come away inspired.

Come for the education

Keeping up with industry change is hard, but the ISSA Show is designed to make it manageable. The week-long education program offers more than 110 sessions, available to those with an All-Access Pass. Sessions kick off Sunday with full-day preconference workshops, then continue Monday through Thursday in convention center classrooms and theaters on the show floor.

The show is known for cutting-edge programming on a myriad of topics, from artificial intelligence-fueled cleaning operations, robotics and automation, and sustainability/ESG (environmental, social, and governance) measures to indoor air quality (IAQ), healthcare cleaning, business growth, leadership, and marketing. These are not passive lectures. You engage directly with instructors, dig into real-world examples, and leave with tools you can put to work immediately.

You can upgrade your experience by registering for full-day or half-day workshops and certification courses. Check out the full 2026 workshop and session catalog at issashow.com. Be sure to register for the show and choose the sessions you wish to attend.

Robots take center stage

New energy on the 2026 expo floor centers on R.A.C.E., the Robotics & Autonomous Cleaning Experience. It gives contractors and facility managers a structured place to evaluate autonomous mobile robots in person and talk directly with the people building them. The experience is built around three elements: two live demonstration zones where robots run real-world facility scenarios; expert-led panels on implementation, workflows, safety, and return on investment; and an innovation showcase for networking with technology leaders.

The timing is deliberate. Three forces are reshaping cleaning operations at once: persistent workforce shortages, higher and better-documented cleanliness expectations, and cleaning technology that has matured well past the pilot stage. R.A.C.E. is where attendees can size up that shift firsthand. If you are considering automation for your cleaning operation, be sure to review the free AI & Robotics Guide at issashow.com before you arrive at the show.

Innovation takes the spotlight

The Innovation Experience puts the industry’s newest ideas on stage through the Innovative Leaders Award Program. Participating exhibitors unveil the products and technologies built to solve the problems professionals wrestle with every day, from automation and equipment to hygiene solutions, facility care products, and sustainability.

The People’s Choice Award lets attendees weigh in on their favorites and is a fast, practical way to see what is genuinely new before they walk the expo floor aisles.

The next sales generation competes

After a headline-grabbing debut last year, the Global Collegiate Sales Competition returns to the show. Equal parts competition and recruiting pipeline, the event attracts the next generation of talent to the cleaning industry.

Over two action-packed days, 10 elite teams—made up of around 40 of the country’s most promising collegiate sales students—compete in speed selling and role-play scenarios using real products supplied by sponsors. Finalists present at the Innovation Showcase & Theater on the show floor, judged by industry leaders.

Network with purpose

One of the best parts of the show is the energy. You are surrounded by people who get it—industry peers, prospective customers, mentors, and future business partners.

The week is stacked with chances to connect, including a Hygieia Networking Lunch on Monday and a Welcome Happy Hour later that day, along with two IEHA events: a Welcome Reception on Sunday and a Membership Meeting and Luncheon on Tuesday. Various spotlight and networking events are built into the expo hall experience. You’ll find real value in the conversations, whether they happen over coffee or during a demo.

Seek innovation

Come early for the expo floor opening on Tuesday, Nov. 17. Packed with interactive demos, new product reveals, and experts ready to answer your questions, the expo floor features hundreds of exhibitors—fan favorites who return every year and almost 150 brand-new exhibitors who will bring fresh products and ideas to the 2026 show.

Give yourself more time here than you think you need; with the right strategy, you will end up with a shopping list of must-have cleaning solutions and a stack of new industry contacts.

This is your show. Make the most of it.

Plan your week at a glance

All times are listed in Pacific Time and are subject to change. Here is how the week shapes up:

ISSA members enjoy discounted registration rates, and the show offers several pass types to match how you want to spend your week. Rates rise as the show gets closer, so the earlier you commit, the more you save.

Member rates shown reflect the earliest registration window. Prices increase on Sept. 26, again on Oct. 24, and once more for onsite registration beginning Nov. 15, so booking early pays off. Groups of 10 or more qualify for a 15% discount when all passes are purchased together. Registration changes and cancellations must be made in writing by Oct. 20, 2026.

Prepare for your trip

ISSA Show partners with onPeak, its only endorsed hotel provider, to secure discounted rooms that typically average 30% below other travel sites—with no upfront costs, flexible terms, and hotel rewards points still in play. Rooms near Mandalay Bay go quickly, so book early through issashow.com rather than any unaffiliated third party.

A few logistics worth noting: Badges are not mailed, so plan to pick yours up onsite at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and check in first if you are attending education sessions. International attendees can download a visa invitation letter from the registration dashboard. Wheelchair and scooter rentals are available through the Mandalay Bay Bell Desk, and coat and bag check is US$4 per item. The ISSA Show is a trade event open to industry professionals only.
