Online meetings and Zoom conferences were a lifeline, but they are no substitute for face-to-face gatherings.This was the often-expressed sentiment on the floor of Fabricare 2021, an educational conference that took place in Las Vegas on Oct. 2 and 3. The event, attended by approximately 200 drycleaning professionals, was the first opportunity most have had to interact with their peers in person since the pandemic lockdowns of 2020.During the event, presenters from around the industry spoke on topics including best practices in running successful cleaning companies, hiring and retaining employees in today's tight labor market, keeping the entrepreneurial spirit alive and what the future will bring to the drycleaning industry.In addition, more than 30 exhibitors had tables set up to present their goods and services, answer any questions the attendees might have and meet people in person for the first time in months.
