Where Do We Go From Here? Cleaning In 2021 and Beyond

Join us as we discuss best practices that will help facility managers maximize cleaning effectiveness.

Cleaning Summit | $99 | April 27, 2021 10 AM ET

The Cleaning Summit is for facility managers, executive housekeepers, building service contractors, and distributors. Manufacturers/industry suppliers are not allowed to attend.

2020 was an unprecedented year for the commercial cleaning industry, but as we move past the immediate pandemic concerns, will customers and stakeholders still be concerned about the same level of cleaning and new technologies? This Cleaning Summit will review what cleaning strategies will become new industry best practices and what were simply emergency protocols; how to plan to make sure you have the necessary staff to continue to handle the demands; and how best to engage with building executives to make sure their needs are sufficiently being met.

Learning Objectives:

Learn how a university adapted its campus during the pandemic.
Review the changes to the built environment that facilities managers expect to happen in the future.
Comprehend the tenant and stakeholder requirements on cleaning protocols
Understand the new technologies and/or existing technologies applied in new ways to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.
