Dry Cleaning & Laundry Trade Shows Collaborate 

One of the key things that most laundry business owners look forward to every year are trade shows because, attending dry cleaning and laundry trade shows gives them the ability to see new products in action, network with other business owners, and make decisions that will grow their businesses. 

The trade show schedule for 2024 and beyond is going to be changing as the California Cleaners Association, Southwest Drycleaners Association, Pennsylvania Delaware Cleaners Association, and the California Cleaners Association are going to be combining their events. 

Moving forward, the number of live equipment shows that have been an annual event for laundry business owners will be reduced from four major trade shows per year, down to two. Those trade shows will be the DLExpo East and the DLExpo West. 

A Move That’s Expected To Strengthen The Industry 

Consolidating the shows from two to four shows per year is a move that’s expected to strengthen the laundry business industry because it means that more exhibitors will have the opportunity to be a part of either show while reaching larger audiences. 

Yes, the Dry Cleaning & Laundry Expo Est, along with the Dry Cleaning & Laundry Expo West will give laundry business owners the opportunity to see more laundry business products and services while making it easier for exhibitors to commit to a larger presence at either show. 

Showcasing The Best Of The Industry 

Dry cleaning and laundry trade shows are always a great time to see the best products in the industry and this year there’s going to be plenty to see at the following events. 

DLExpo East – June 7-9, 2024, at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Kissimmee Florida. 

DLExpo West – October 4-6, 2024, at the Horseshoe Resort and Casino in Last Vegas. 

By 2026, the DLExpo East is going to move to the Baltimore / Washington DC area while the DLExpo West is expected to move to the Texas area. 

Besides giving laundry business owners the ability to see equipment, exhibits, and network with other business owners, both trade shows are also expected to feature educational sessions that will give attendees the opportunity to learn new strategies to grow their businesses.
