OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. – April 9, 2014 – The Coin Laundry Association (CLA) announced today the final schedule for its highly anticipated Excellence in Laundry Conference and also recognized the event’s sponsors and exhibitors.
Held May 14-15 at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla., the second biennial Excellence in Laundry Conference brings the self-service laundry industry’s most successful people together for two days of unmatched educational sessions, networking, and exhibits, with the intention of helping self-service laundry professionals improve and grow their businesses.
“One of the many reasons this is a special conference, is because of all the practical applications that laundromat owners gain at the event,” says Brian Wallace, president and CEO of the Coin Laundry Association. “They’re exposed to best business practices and proven techniques – laundry owners can go home and immediately implement things they’ve learned – and that’s going to impact their bottom line.”
Education & Networking
Conference attendees will enjoy over five hours of educational programming and many networking opportunities. The conference’s keynote speakers include branding guru Bruce Turkel, CEO of Turkel Brands, business strategy expert Chuck Bamford, Ph.D., founder of Bamford Associates, LLC., and leading legislative analyst Joe Crosby of MultiState Associates, Inc.
Educational sessions include:
- 7 Steps to Building Brand Value
- Laundry Branding Case Studies & Critiques
- Finding the Real Competitive Advantage in Your Business
- Legislative Update for Laundry Owners
- Futurecast – Where’s the Industry Headed?
In addition to the educational sessions, laundry professionals will enjoy a welcome reception the evening of May 13, a dinner gala the evening of May 14 and a beach party the afternoon of May 15.

Recognizing that Excellence in Laundry would not be possible without generous support from its sponsors, the CLA extends a special thank you to its manufacturer and distributor partners. All sponsors will be exhibiting at the event.
