On the first day of Clean 2019 in New Orleans, the show\u2019s new owner, Messe Frankfurt, held a news conference at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re honored that you gave us your trust,\u201d said Messe Frankfurt Senior Vice President Iris Jeglitza-Moshage, whose company currently operates 150 trade shows around the world. \u201cIt\u2019s a great moment. We will improve and develop this show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joe Ricci, who is the CEO of TRSA, which is one of the Clean Show\u2019s former trade-association owners, explained that the event\u2019s five sponsoring trade groups weren\u2019t necessarily looking to sell the biennial show and convention.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mission was to find a new management team,\u201d he said. However, after a \u201clong and tedious process,\u201d a deal was eventually struck to sell the textile-care industry\u2019s largest U.S. trade show.<\/p>\n
Ricci added that the 10-year agreement with Messe Frankfurt, headquartered in Germany, was with the understanding that the show\u2019s five former owners \u2014 including the Coin Laundry Association \u2014 would continue to be critical players in the running of this event.<\/p>\n
The Clean Show is valuable to our industries,\u201d Ricci said. \u201cSo, we will continue to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also hinted at the possibility of Clean\u2019s sponsoring trade organizations working with Messe Frankfurt on projects outside of the Clean Show.<\/p>\n
Constantin von Vieregge, president of Messe Frankfurt North America, noted that show exhibitors and attendees can expect business as usual for the New Orleans event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe run shows all the time,\u201d he said. \u201cWe know how to run a show. But the show is never about us. It\u2019s about the exhibitors. It\u2019s about the people doing business. Without that, we don\u2019t have a show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Messe Frankfurt also announced that the next Clean Show will be held June 10-13, 2021, in Atlanta. The location for Clean 2023 will be Orlando, Fla., and the show will return to Las Vegas in 2025.<\/p>\n
The show will remain on a two-year schedule, according to von Vieregge.<\/p>\n
