Healthcare Takes Center Stage at ISSA Show North America 2026

October 27, 2026

Visit the ISSA Healthcare Booth #2433  ·  November 17–19  ·  Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

ISSA Show North America is one of the largest gatherings in the cleaning industry, and this year healthcare has a home on the show floor. As ISSA’s newest division, ISSA Healthcare is bringing together the companies, experts, and professionals working to make healthcare environments cleaner and safer.

We heard from exhibitors and attendees that they wanted more focus on healthcare. So that’s exactly what we did. The ISSA Healthcare Booth is your destination for partner presentations, task force updates, prizes, and conversations with the people shaping the future of healthcare environmental hygiene.

Join the Healthcare Scavenger Hunt

Stop by Booth #2433 to pick up your scavenger hunt card and start exploring. Each card sends you to our healthcare partners’ booths for a quick, fun activity. Then come back to the Healthcare Booth to spin the Wheel of Prizes. The more you explore, the more chances you have to win.

Grand prize: Virtual Manager is giving away an iPad! The grand-prize drawing takes place at the end of the show, with many more prizes up for grabs on the wheel all week.

Thank You to Our Partners
