Healthcare Strategic Workshop for BSCs: Expanding Your Business Into the Healthcare Market
October 27, 2026
Monday, November 16 · 9:00 am–12:00 pm · Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas
Healthcare is one of the most stable, high-growth markets for building service contractors (BSCs). But it is not commercial cleaning with a different address. Healthcare cleaning is a specialized discipline, with its own standards, risks, and expectations, and the work directly affects patient safety.
Whether you are exploring the healthcare market or ready to scale an existing healthcare business, this hands-on workshop puts you to work alongside industry experts to build a strategy you can use right away.
Walk Out with a Plan
This is not a lecture. Participants will:

- Understand infection prevention training requirements for healthcare and evaluate your team’s training needs.
- Learn what goes into a winning proposal so you can compete credibly for healthcare contracts.
- Create your healthcare strategy outline to move your organization forward with confidence.
