ISSA/Interclean Istanbul postponed
RAI Amsterdam, ISSA and local partner UBM, have announced that the ISSA/Interclean Istanbul exhibition, originally scheduled for 7th - 9th September 2016, has been moved to 18th - 20th October, 2017. After careful deliberation the organisation has made the decision to postpone the event, citing rising concerns from exhibitors and visitors regarding travel in and out of the country as the chief motive.
"We are deeply committed to the Eurasian market and to working with the Turkish cleaning industry," said Bas Dalm, senior vice president international exhibitions & sales at RAI Amsterdam. "However, our exhibitors and attendees have expressed concern regarding their participation at this event, and we believe it is prudent to respect their decisions and find a more opportune time to bring the industry together."
John Barrett, ISSA executive director, added: "Eurasia - and specifically Istanbul, remain strong regions of activity for the professional cleaning and hygiene industry, and we plan to continue to support the region, including our local partners at TESHIAD. Therefore, we are pleased to have found alternative dates for the event next year in Istanbul."
Rob den Hertog, manager ISSA/Interclean, said: "We look forward to hosting a truly international event in 2017 along the calibre that people have come to expect from the ISSA/Interclean brand."
Those industry professionals looking to network and find business partners this calendar year can to attend the ISSA/Interclean North America event 25th - 28th October, Chicago, US.
