Due to the poularity of last year’s Fall Fest EXPO, the North East Fabricare Association, the South Eastern Fabricare Association and the Pennsylvania and Delaware Cleaning Association have decided to offer an abridged Spring version, set to take place this month from the 28th to the 30th.
This time out, the Drycleaning and Laundry Institute has joined the ranks of sponsors for the three-day program.
“DLI felt last year’s Fall Fest Expo was an incredible opportunity and cleaners from around the world really benefitted by participating,” noted DLI President Jess Culpepper. “We are excited to be added as a sponsor and to help Springfest reach an even wider audience. This is a unique program and a great platform to get meaningful education for your entire plant without the expense of travel.”
The full slate of presenters and contributors is still being finalized; however, one keynote program will feature a S.W.O.T. (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis on the drycleaning industry by leading cleaners.
Other topics will include “Leveraging Your Brand and Solidifying Your Reputation” and a roundtable of leading cleaners will explore how they will prepare for the reopening of the industry in “How to Stay Up in a Down Market.”
Also, attendees can expect more of the popular “breakout rooms” format from Fall Fest.
“Breakout rooms will be an integral part of the program,” emphasized Leslie Schaeffer, co-executive director of PDCA. “Attendees loved engaging with peers and sharing their experiences with other cleaners throughout the country and this will be a conference highlight.”
Details of the program will be made available soon on the following sponsoring association websites: www.nefabricare. com, www.pdclean.org, and www.sefa.org.
