Clean Buildings Expo Rescheduled to August

If you were looking forward to attending the Clean Buildings Expo (CBE) in Baltimore next week, but were a bit apprehensive about traveling due to the coronavirus, unpack your bags and plan to attend the event in mid August. Both CBE and the National Facilities Mangement and Technology (NFMT) Conference and Expo are rescheduled for August 11-13. This change gives potential attendees unable to attend in March more time to register and plan for the free event. 

A letter from CBE and NFMT management released on Wednesday reads:

The Clean Buildings Expo (CBE) and National Facilities Management and Technology (NFMT) Conference and Expo show management team wishes to express our deepest concerns for everyone impacted by the COVID-19 coronavirus. We have monitored the situation closely, and due to recent developments and facts, the CBE and NFMT shows scheduled for March 17-19 in Baltimore have been rescheduled. CBE will now take place August 11-12 and NFMT will take place August 11-13 at the Baltimore Convention Center.

We thank our attendees, exhibitors, and speakers for entrusting us to make the best decision supported by facts. Tuesday, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced that he has canceled all out-of-state travel for all state employees and advised all state agencies to prepare all employees for telework in order to stop the spread of the COVID-19 disease. Hogan signed this emergency legislation into law on Day 5 of Maryland’s coronavirus state of emergency.

“Our top priority is to serve and support our attendees and exhibitors—and protecting their health and safety is of paramount importance,” said Jill McDermott, chief sales officer at Trade Press Media Group, which owns and co-owns NFMT and CBE, respectively. “We take pride in offering valuable educational opportunities, networking, and access to new products and technologies for facilities and cleaning professionals who trust NFMT and CBE to deliver on their high standards. We are excited to welcome our community to the rescheduled shows in August.”

Attendee registrations and exhibitor booths will automatically transfer to the new August 11-13 show dates. Additionally, NFMT and ISSA pre- and post-event workshops will move to coincide with the August dates.
