International Carwash Association (ICA) announced that Southeastern Car Wash Association (SECWA) will become a co-marketer of The Car Wash Show, owned by ICA. SECWA joins Automotive Oil Change Association, Midwest Carwash Association and Western Carwash Association in partnering with the world’s largest car wash event, The Car Wash Show. With this change, SECWA will exclusively support The Car Wash Show as its annual convention, discontinuing its own trade show, while increasing its focus on educational and networking opportunities for car wash operators and suppliers in the southeastern United States.

“We’re thrilled to welcome SECWA to The Car Wash Show and our family of association collaborators,” said ICA CEO Eric Wulf. “SECWA’s support of The Car Wash Show will make for an even more dynamic environment for members, attendees and exhibitors. ICA collaborates with car wash associations across the United States, and around the world, based on our belief that we can accomplish more by working together. That’s why we’re equally excited about the role we’ll be able to play in supporting SECWA’s pivot toward delivering new value to its members."

“We are excited to be working closely with ICA to support the car wash community,” said SECWA President David Reep. “We have an ambitious educational and road show calendar coming up starting with our Atlanta Road Show on November 2, 2022. We also look forward to partnering with ICA for The Car Wash Show and more.”

The Car Wash Show 2023 will be held May 7-9 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Las Vegas Convention Center’s new West Hall will host the event for the first time, which is expected to be record-setting. The Car Wash Show 2024 will be held in Nashville, Tennessee.
