Early access registration is now open to ISSA members for the largest Capitol Hill fly-in event for the cleaning and facility-solutions industry, the 2025 ISSA Clean Advocacy Summit, March 31-April 1 in Washington, DC. ISSA, the worldwide cleaning and facility solutions industry association, is hosting the 2025 summit with support from INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry; the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC); and the Workplace Solutions Association (WSA). In 2024, the summit brought a record 120+ attendees from 32 states, who visited 133 congressional offices in our nation’s capital to advance the legislative priorities for the industry.

“The 2025 summit is a can’t-miss, unique opportunity to help shape the future of the cleaning and facility-solutions industry,” said ISSA Director of Government Affairs John Nothdurft. “Participation is critical for industry leaders to engage with a new administration, as well as build new and even stronger relationships with members of Congress around issues such as labor, workforce development, taxes, regulations, and more.” The summit also will serve as the culminating celebration of International Cleaning Week, March 23-29, 2025.
