A total of 11, 264 people registered for this year’s Clean Show in Atlanta, an increase of 9% over those attending the 2013 show, held in New Orleans, while exhibit space was up by almost 6% over the 2011 show in Las Vegas.

In all, 88 countries outside the USA and 437 exhibitors took part in an event that occupied 195,400 sq ft of booth space.

Clean Show chairman Brian Wallace said the 2015 event exceeded expectations and judging by the positive energy in the hall, the garment and textile care industry is thriving in 2015.

The show also provided around 33 hours of educational sessions, including six sessions that took place in the exhibition hall. The organiser reports that many of these sessions were so crowded that they reached "standing room only".
