Normally, you would have received this publication as you arrived at The Car Wash Show, full of energy and excitement to make new connections, get new ideas for your business and experience the glory that is a trade show floor full of car wash equipment.

The last few months have been anything but normal. We’ve all experienced a level of disruption that has caused an insane spike in the use of the English word “unprecedented.” But there are silver linings here.

1)
We’ve seen countless stories about how the car wash community is coming together to help local communities during these times of need. Proving that we are doing #MoreThanWashingCars.

2)
The resources gathered at carwash.org/sharing are helping the car wash community continue to operate safely as the new normal transitions to normal. This page continues to be a vital source of resources and information.

3) International Carwash Association has launched CAR WASH Magazine Live, CAR WASH The Podcast, and will continue rolling out new offerings over the course of the next year to help bring our community together, and provide the tools, resources and connectivity you need to help make better business decisions.

4) The Car Wash Show 2021 is going to be something like no one has ever experienced, in the most positive way possible. And, we’ve been able to secure next year’s The Car Wash Show in Las Vegas to be held November 15-17, helping ensure ample time for us all to figure out what the new normal looks like.

In the pages that follow, you’ll find articles from some of the speakers who were slated to speak at this year’s Show. You’ll also see information about ICA’s latest U.S. Car Wash Consumer Study and a listing, by category, of the exhibitors who were going to be in attendance at The Car Wash Show 2020.

I hope this can be a valuable resource for you as you consider your business needs in the coming months. If you have questions, or feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Keep it clean!
