Organisers of the ISSA/Interclean Amsterdam trade show have dubbed the four-day show a huge success, as more than 30,000 cleaning professionals from 134 countries made the journey to the RAI Amsterdam.
Amsterdam was bathed in glorious sunshine for the duration of the exhibition, as visitors from across the globe came to see the latest that the cleaning industry has to offer, including hundreds of new product innovations.
The sunny weather made the Outdoor Demo Show more popular than ever. Once inside, the visitors enjoyed countless activities on exhibitor stands: a break-dance performance, caricature cartoonist, a Marilyn Monroe stand-in and even a virtual reality demonstration boosting the experience. More visitors spent three days at the show floor, resulting in a vibrant exhibition and one of the busiest shows ever.
“The success of ISSA/Interclean Amsterdam was the great atmosphere throughout the RAI complex,” said Rob den Hertog, Manager ISSA/Interclean at RAI Amsterdam. “From the Award Ceremony on the opening day of the show to the many business contacts on the exhibition floor, from the high degree of knowledge exchange at the complementary ISSA seminar programme and the innovations in the InnovationLAB to the networking fun at the various social gatherings, ISSA/Interclean was the place to be. Now the work starts for ISSA/Interclean Amsterdam 2018, we look forward to it!”
Over four days a total of 30,289 professionals from 134 countries visited the show, and organisers have reported that the international share of attendees also keeps growing, with 76% of the visitors coming from outside the Netherlands. The largest growth came from Oceania, Western Africa and Southeast Asia.
