Get ready for the main event - Professional Carwashing & Detailing

Get ready for the main event

Practice and planning make for perfect attendance.

According to the International Carwash Association (ICA), host of The Car Wash Show™ 2018, which is billed as the country’s largest carwash convention, this is “the must-attend event for car care professionals.”

But, where can carwash operators and owners look for value while at the Las Vegas Convention Center from April 26-28? The answer is: everywhere. Attendees will be surrounded by ways to make their businesses better.

The expansive trade show floor, featuring new product innovations, equipment, services and much more almost 160,000 square feet, is reason enough to attend this unique event. However, when mixing in the networking potential of over 8,000 like-minded carwash professionals as well as the over 70 educational sessions planned before and during show hours, it is clear to see that there is “something for everyone,” as noted by ICA, and value when attending is a theme that is linked throughout The Car Wash Show.

From the event’s new investor seminars to quick-lube-focused presentations, attendees can pick up tips and best practices to implement back at the wash.

Additionally, at the State of the Industry Breakfast and Keynote Presentation, ICA CEO Eric Wulf and President Haji Tehrani offer a high-level perspective of the trends and issues impacting our industry as well as provide an association update. According to www.carwash.org, during the session, “Plan to hear a comprehensive overview on how ICA’s individual programs have been progressing over the past year and what lies ahead.”

Following that special presentation is the Keynote Address from National Football League (NFL) Hall of Famer and television analyst Howie Long. Long is sure to share his knowledge regarding the power of teamwork and how to effectively analyze situations.

Whether it is your first show or you have been attending The Car Wash Show for decades, professional carwash owners and operators can simply never stop learning when attending this special show.

If you are currently at The Car Wash Show 2018, please be sure to stop by booth 135 to meet our team.
