On the heels of one of the most successful years of The Car Wash Show ever held, International Carwash Association and the Australian Carwash Association are gearing up for the first iteration of the partnered Car Wash Show Australia.

Held in Melbourne Oct. 30 through Nov. 1, 2018, the event looks to expand on a growing level of interest and support of the global car wash industry.

“We have had continued growth and success with our Australian expo for a couple of decades now, and this partnership will allow us to take it to the next level, adding global attendance, experience, and educational content whilst maintaining a local Aussie flavor,” said ACWA President Craig Campbell.

“We are incredibly excited about this new partnership, and the potential it holds for supporting the growth of the global car wash industry,” said ICA Chief Executive Officer Eric Wulf.

“Developing mutually beneficial partnerships with allied associations is a key component of our strategy, and this agreement will build upon the success we’ve achieved with the Automotive Oil Change Association, BOVAG (the Dutch car wash association) and Western Carwash Association.”

The biennial Car Wash Show Australia™ joins with International Carwash Association’s existing trade shows The Car Wash Show® (U.S.) and Car Wash Show Europe™.

Members of both organizations will now receive preferred pricing and access to all ICA programs and subscriptions to ICA’s CAR WASH Magazine. ACWA and ICA have also committed to supporting the exchange of information between markets through networking events, educational content and regular meetings of their leadership teams.
