Dear Valued Exhibitor,

Thank you for exhibiting at ISSA/INTERCLEAN® North America, and welcome to Chicago! In conjunction with GES’s Expresso site, the 2012 Exhibitor Service Manual has a new look and feel. While the complete PDF format is still available, we have re-designed the manual to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. GES products can now be ordered online directly from this site to ensure an immediate confirmation, in hopes to make your ISSA/INTERCLEAN® preparation as easy as possible.

IMPORTANT New Work Rule Reforms at McCormick Place. Key changes important to exhibitors: Exhibitor’s Bill of Rights, Key Expanded Straight Time, ASUV Program, & Crew Size Reductions.

Highlighted programs and services for 2012:

• Discounted Housing Rates- Book your hotel rooms using ISSA’s official housing vendor, onPeak, to receive a complimentary shuttle bus pass ($30 value). This is available online at www.issa.com/hotels.
• ISSA’s 2012 Innovation Award Program- The online innovation program has made its way to the trade show floor. Find out how you can participate under the “Advertising & Promotional Opportunities” section.
• ISSA-TV Live Video Streaming- ISSA will stream live video of select events from this year's show both online at ISSA.com and in the convention center. Stay tuned for further details and sponsorship opportunities!
• Upgraded Mobile App- Take advantage of this year’s upgraded mobile app to drive traffic to your booth before and during the show. Find more details under the “Advertising & Promotional Opportunities” section.
• Don Aslett’s Museum of Clean- The museum is back by popular demand, and is filled with more historic products from our industry.
• Best Customer Service Awards now digital- Get your customers to vote for you using the ISSA/INTERCLEAN mobile app. Attendees are now able to vote using their mobile device instead of filling out a paper ballot.
• Co-locating Partners: We are happy to have Building Service Contractors Association International, the International Executive Housekeepers Association, and the Association of Residential Cleaning Services International back as co-locating partners for this year’s event.

Please remember to customize your Exhibitor Digital Booth. Your exhibit contract includes a customization of your digital booth in the online exhibitor directory. Update your organization’s products and services before, during, and after the trade show to add value to your ISSA/INTERCLEAN® exhibiting experience.

Ask your sales representative Iris Weinstein or Mikel Gabrielson about the many sponsorship opportunities available, and have one customized just for you!

On behalf of the ISSA Board and staff, we look forward to seeing you in October and here’s to a very successful show in Chicago!

Sincerely,
Kim Althoff
Director of Conventions & Meetings

Leah Mrazek
Trade Show & Meetings Manager
