What is ISSA Show North America 2026, and why does the cleaning industry gather there?
ISSA Show North America 2026 is the cleaning industry's premier event, with education November 16 to 19, 2026 and exhibits November 17 to 19, 2026 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. The organiser's exhibit page cites 12,000 plus professionals and 635 plus exhibiting brands.
ISSA, the leading association for the cleaning and facility services industry worldwide, produces the show. For the edition after this one, the published schedule lists November 8 to 11, 2027, with exhibit days November 9 to 11.
Who should attend and exhibit at the 2026 ISSA Show?
ISSA Show North America gathers a community of contractors, distributors and facility service professionals, and it stays a trade event open only to industry professionals. Exhibitors sell cleaning agents, floor and carpet care, paper products, restroom care, waste management and safety supplies.
The floor is a mix of chemicals, paper and dispensers, floor care machines and autonomous robots. The 2024 edition was hosted alongside the Building Service Contractors Association International (BSCAI) Contracting Success conference, which broadens the contractor audience.
When does ISSA Show North America 2026 run, and what are the exhibit hall hours?
ISSA Show North America 2026 runs education November 16 to 19, 2026 and exhibits November 17 to 19, 2026. The show floor opens on November 17. Tuesday and Wednesday run 10am to 5pm, the two longest and busiest floor windows, and Thursday closes early at 2pm.
| Day | Exhibit hall | | --- | --- | | Tuesday, November 17 | 10am to 5pm | | Wednesday, November 18 | 10am to 5pm | | Thursday, November 19 | 10am to 2pm |
How many exhibit hours does the 2026 ISSA Show floor give each team?
Tuesday and Wednesday each run 10am to 5pm, which is 7 hours, and Thursday runs 10am to 2pm, which is 4 hours. That is 7 plus 7 plus 4, or 18 open floor hours across the three exhibit days, with the final day roughly half the length of the first two.
See the floor-hour arithmetic in the planning guide.
Where is ISSA Show North America 2026, and how is the Mandalay Bay floor organised?
ISSA Show North America 2026 sits at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, 3950 S. Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89119. The organiser's own Map Your Show floor plan page confirms the November 16 to 19, 2026 edition at that venue, with the exhibit hall at the heart of the campus.
Named floor areas include the Robotics and Autonomous Cleaning Experience with two live demo areas, the New Exhibitor Pavilion by the entrance, and the International, Residential Cleaning and Italian Pavilions. The 2024 edition also ran a Sustainability and ESG Hub, a Business Solutions Theater and the CleanMeet Zone on the floor.
How do attendees reach Mandalay Bay and get around ISSA Show North America?
The nearest airport is Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), a short ride from the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Official rooms are booked through onPeak, which the show says average about 30% less than other travel sites. Wheelchair and scooter rentals are handled by the Mandalay Bay Bell Desk.
International attendees can download a VISA letter from the registration dashboard once they have registered. Because hotel and route choices vary, a meeting point should name the hall and booth rather than only the venue.
How do you register for ISSA Show North America 2026, and which pass fits?
Registration is open only to industry professionals, because ISSA Show North America is a trade event. The All-Access Pass covers education sessions, networking events and full expo access, and ISSA members receive a discount on select registration packages. Members could also claim a free Expo Only Pass through October 23.
As of 29 October 2026 the organiser lists pass types but has not published attendee dollar figures. Badges are not mailed in advance and are collected at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
What badge, cancellation and access rules apply at the 2026 ISSA Show?
Cancellations must be in writing before October 20, 2026 and carry a $99 fee. Badges are picked up at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center rather than mailed. Exhibitors receive one booth staff badge per 100 square feet, with extra badges at $99.00 each.
Photography is allowed only with the exhibiting company's prior approval. Children under 18 are permitted on the floor only during show hours under direct adult supervision. Wheelchair and scooter rentals come from the venue Bell Desk, and ISSA Show North America does not sell attendee lists under any circumstance.
Where should ISSA Show North America attendees book hotels?
onPeak is the only company ISSA Show North America has partnered with for hotels. The show says onPeak rooms average about 30% less than other travel sites, and bookers can still earn hotel rewards points. Wheelchair and scooter rentals for the stay are arranged separately through the Mandalay Bay Bell Desk.
The distinction matters for budgeting, because a booth cost can be priced from published rates while a room total depends on a live onPeak selection.
What travel timing is established for the three ISSA Show exhibit days?
As of 29 October 2026 the reviewed ISSA pages establish the three exhibit dates, November 17 to 19, 2026, and an early final day running 10am to 2pm on Thursday. Those same pages do not state a verified airport to Mandalay Bay transfer time for any specific route, so this section fixes the dates and hours rather than a single arrival or departure cutoff.
Which exhibitors and product categories fill the 2026 ISSA Show floor?
The organiser's exhibit page cites 635 plus exhibiting brands across the cleaning supply chain. Named suppliers from the 2024 edition included Clorox Pro, GP PRO, Kimberly-Clark Professional, Nilfisk, P&G PRO, Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Spartan Chemical and SC Johnson Professional. For 2026, the Rubbermaid Commercial Products team has confirmed it will be in Las Vegas.
Rubbermaid has named booth #3005 for the show. Product categories span cleaning agents, floor and carpet care, paper products, restroom care, waste management and safety supplies. The floor itself mixes chemicals, paper and dispensers with floor care machines and autonomous robots.
How should teams work the ISSA Show North America exhibitor directory?
The exhibitor directory and floor plan live on issashowplanner.com, the show's digital directory and mobile app. That planner and floor plan are operated through Map Your Show, whose support address is help@mapyourshow.com. The directory holds the 635 plus exhibiting brands the exhibit page cites, which gives a counted base for a target list.
A listing names each company's product categories, so a first pass can group the directory by category before any booth is walked.
Which sessions, speakers and floor programs matter at ISSA Show 2026?
More than 80 education sessions are planned for 2026, and a sponsored luncheon features Joy Mangano, described as one of the world's most successful inventors and entrepreneurs. Mangano is best known for inventing the Miracle Mop, and her luncheon sits beside the show's technical and business tracks.
The 2025 edition ran more than 60 educational sessions across three pavilions, with tracks covering business growth strategies; distributor, ESG and sustainability; facilities operations and maintenance; leadership, career, and talent development; residential; technology and innovation; and thought leadership. ISSA Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) and IEHA certification workshops also ran.
Recognition runs through the ISSA Spotlight Event and Awards, and the 2024 Innovation Showcase featured 33 new technologies and products. On-floor programs include the Robotics and Autonomous Cleaning Experience with two live demo areas, while the 2024 floor added a Sustainability and ESG Hub, a Business Solutions Theater and the CleanMeet Zone. Evening networking has included the ISSA Show Happy Hour and the IEHA Housekeeping Olympics at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay.
How many bookable floor hours does the 2026 ISSA Show schedule leave?
The hall is open 10am to 5pm Tuesday and Wednesday and 10am to 2pm Thursday. No keynote competes inside those hall windows, so all of 7 plus 7 plus 4, or 18 hours, stay bookable for booth conversations, weighted toward the two full Tuesday and Wednesday days.
Map the bookable windows with the planning guide.
Who attends ISSA Show North America, and does the audience fit?
A 2024 exhibitor guide drawing on ISSA's post-show report split attendance into Jan-san distributors and wholesalers at 41%, building service contractors at 32%, facility services providers at 14%, and associate services at 7% with residential cleaners at 6%. The 2024 edition drew more than 12,000 registered professionals from 75 countries.
The organiser's current exhibit page reports 43% new attendees, a signal of fresh accounts each year rather than a fixed buyer-role split for 2026.
How can exhibitors build a target account list for ISSA Show 2026?
The documented buyer mix gives a filter: Jan-san distributors and wholesalers led at 41%, with building service contractors at 32% and facility services providers at 14%. Against the 635 plus exhibiting brands and the 12,000 plus professionals the exhibit page cites, that is roughly 19 attendees per exhibiting brand.
That ratio shows the floor is dense with buyers relative to sellers, so grouping the directory by buyer role and product category turns a broad audience into a named, counted list.
What can the ISSA Show North America app and show planner do?
The official ISSA Show NA app is published by INFORMA UK LIMITED and runs on the Swapcard platform, with support reaching android@swapcard.com. Alongside the app, the digital directory on issashowplanner.com and the mobile app carry each exhibitor's listing, so attendees can search the floor and build an agenda before they arrive.
Together the app and planner handle discovery, scheduling and the directory. They identify booths and build a personal agenda, which is a different task from recording what happens in a booth conversation.
Where does the ISSA Show planner stop and lead capture begin?
The exhibitor directory and floor plan on issashowplanner.com, the show's digital directory and mobile app, let an attendee find exhibitors and map a route across the hall. Booth rental also includes an onsite appointment scheduler tool, so exhibitors can set meetings with registered attendees in advance.
Lead capture is a separate step. It is ordered inside the login-gated Exhibitor Service Kit, which opens about four to five months before the show, so the planner points teams to the right booths while a capture tool records who actually stopped and what they needed.
What does it cost to exhibit at ISSA Show North America 2026?
A 2026 exhibitor guide lists ISSA booth space at about $44.79 to $55.00 per square foot for spaces up to 400 square feet, member to non-member. For those smaller spaces, the member list rate was $47.15 against $55.00 for non-members. Large booths saw $37.23 to $45.04 per square foot at 1,601 square feet and up.
Premiums added $500 per corner, $1,000 for a peninsula and $995 for a shared booth, with a $836 basic listing package. Each booth includes 8 foot high backwall and 4 foot high sidewall drape and one 11 by 17 inch company ID sign. Photography inside a booth is allowed only with the exhibiting company's prior approval.
How should exhibitors staff a booth across the ISSA Show floor hours?
The floor is open 10am to 5pm Tuesday and Wednesday and 10am to 2pm Thursday. One rep covering every hour works 18 booth-hours; two reps covering every hour need 36 staff-hours. At B2Brain's benchmark of 31 scans per productive rep-day, two reps across the three days can capture up to 186 conversations.

What official lead-retrieval tool is named for ISSA Show North America 2026?
As of 29 October 2026 no organiser or contractor page names a 2026 lead-retrieval vendor, device or price for ISSA Show North America. The Exhibitor Resource Center routes exhibitors to show leads after login, and the Exhibitor Service Kit that would carry an order form opens only about four to five months before the show. With no current-edition proof, the comparison on this page keeps the manual baseline and names no vendor.
What can the ISSA Show lead-capture tool record, and what are its limits?
Because the 2026 lead-capture product is not publicly named for ISSA Show North America, its captured fields, export formats and per-device limits are not documented in the reviewed sources. Those details live inside the login-gated Exhibitor Service Kit, whose resources become available only about four to five months before the show. What a tool records at this show therefore cannot be stated from current public evidence.
Is B2Brain an alternative to the official ISSA Show lead-capture tool?
No official ISSA Show North America lead-capture product is named for 2026, so a product-to-product comparison cannot be drawn from the reviewed sources. The structured comparison on this page instead contrasts working the floor without a named tool against B2Brain.
B2Brain reports booth capture in under 30 seconds per conversation, keeping the account, the discussion and the next step beside the contact. It reports 52% Leads-to-Meeting (LTM, meetings booked divided by qualified booth leads) on the floor, against an 8% industry average for post-event follow-up. Those are B2Brain's internal figures, not an ISSA Show result.
Should exhibitors use B2Brain, the official ISSA Show tool, or both?
A device-versus-software decision rule needs the official tool's 2026 price and order deadline, and neither is published for ISSA Show North America in the reviewed sources as of 29 October 2026. Until the Exhibitor Service Kit names them, only two things can be compared: working the floor with no named capture tool, or running the B2Brain motions of pre-event targeting, on-floor capture and post-event attribution. The device question can be revisited once the kit opens.
What should reps capture in every ISSA Show North America conversation?
The audience gives the fields worth recording. ISSA draws a community of contractors, distributors and facility service pros, and with Jan-san distributors and wholesalers at 41% of 2024 attendees a note can carry the buying role and whether the account distributes or operates. Those categories span cleaning agents, floor and carpet care, paper products, restroom care, waste management and safety supplies.
Recording the role, the category and the agreed next step keeps a booth note useful long after the badge is scanned, because a distributor buys a program while a contractor judges a single machine.
Is a qualified-lead rate published for ISSA Show North America 2026?
The organiser publishes headline scale, 12,000 plus professionals and 635 plus exhibiting brands, but no show-specific qualified-lead rate or conversion benchmark for ISSA Show North America. No contractor or vendor page fills that gap in the reviewed sources as of 29 October 2026, so any claimed ISSA Show lead-quality percentage would rest on numbers the show has not published.
When can ISSA Show leads enter follow-up after the final day?
ISSA Show North America exhibits run November 17 to 19, 2026, and the floor is open 10am to 2pm on the final Thursday, so a first follow-up can begin that same afternoon. Using B2Brain's lead-decay figures of about 85% within two hours and about 9% after one week, the one-week mark lands on November 26, 2026, which sets the window where a fresh floor conversation is still warm.
Time the follow-up windows with the planning guide.
How should exhibitors measure ISSA Show North America booth ROI?
For spaces up to 400 square feet, a 2026 guide lists the member rate at $47.15 against $55.00 for non-members, so a full 400 square foot member booth is about $18,860 of space. Define LTM (Leads-to-Meeting) as meetings booked divided by qualified booth leads. The published $44.79 to $55.00 per square foot range for spaces up to 400 square feet sets the spend side.
Taking 186 captured conversations, 50% qualified and B2Brain's 52% LTM gives about 48 booked meetings, or roughly $393 of space cost per booked meeting. Seller-specific average contract value is not published for this audience, so a full pipeline return is left out rather than resting on an invented figure.
