ISSA | Clean Advocacy Summit 2024

Advocate. Influence. Impact.

Now more than ever, we need your participation and voice to advocate, influence, and make an impact in Washington, DC.

This annual spring summit takes place over two-days and is designed to train attendees to be effective advocates for their businesses and the industry. The final day provides opportunities for participants to meet with their Congressional delegations and hold conversations to advance the industry.

We look forward to hosting next year’s summit, which will likely take place during International Cleaning Week—March 23-29, 2025.

2024 Clean Advocacy Summit Wrap Up

“It’s quite rare for me to dwell on a conference days or weeks after it’s ended, but the 2024 ISSA Clean Advocacy Summit was an exception. I left feeling empowered and brimming with new ideas that continue to resonate with me.”

John C. Banta, CIH IICRC Delegation

“As a first-time attendee, I was nervous and excited. I was paired with some awesome individuals that made the experience more relaxing. The staffers we met with were very engaging. It was an overall nice experience that I would definitely do again.”

Kareen Jones, Project Manager, Didlake

“As a manufacturer, the ability to connect and advocate with and for our customers is invaluable. It opens insights on how our products are used and understood, as well as how we can leverage our position with legislators and regulatory agencies to help our downstream customers. It is a great event!”

Rebecca Kaufold, Manager of Government Affairs & Sustainability, Spartan Chemical Company
