Written on: August 31, 2024 by SprayTM

The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) Innovation Showcase, taking place during the 2025 ACI Annual Meeting & Industry Convention, provides a stage for companies to showcase their cutting-edge and creative new ideas and chemistries to leading cleaning product supply chain representatives. The event at the ACI Convention brings together key decision makers from across the global cleaning product supply chain. 
 
The Showcase will take place on January 29 during ACI’s Convention Week, January 27-31, 2025, at the Grande Lakes Orlando in Orlando, FL. Now in its ninth year, the Innovation Showcase provides a window on how creative, forward-looking companies are bringing new ideas and chemistries to market to serve the needs of consumers and customers.  
 
Abstract submissions are welcome from all ACI member companies. Up to eight abstracts will be selected for presentation during each of the two 90-minute sessions. Immediately following each session, presenters can choose to participate in a one-hour audience meet and greet. A small table will be provided for each company at which they can further discuss their innovation with interested attendees.
