Pandemic Prompts Clean Show Postponement to 2022

摘要

Messe Frankfurt, the organizer of The Clean Show, has decided that the next event scheduled for July 2021 in Atlanta will be postponed to 2022 because of health concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. The largest exposition for the laundry and dry cleaning industry in North America, The Clean Show will now take place July 30 through Aug. 2, 2022. This decision also moves the following edition to Aug. 15-18, 2024. While the decision didn't come as a complete surprise to the industry, the postponement underlined the global pandemic's effect on the cleaning industry. "I expected it," says Christopher White, executive director of America's Best Cleaners (ABC). "Messe is a large organization [based in Germany] that has a global sense of the convention industry. I also believe that the Germans naturally move toward prudent decision-making with the long game in mind."
