In an unprecedented collaboration, the sponsors of the four largest regional drycleaning and laundry trade shows in the country have joined forces to enhance the industry’s exhibitions. The South Eastern Fabricare Association (SEFA), California Cleaners Association (CCA), Southwest Drycleaners Association (SDA), and Pennsylvania Delaware Cleaners Association (PDCA) are proud to announce the co-branding of these shows, marking a new era of partnership and growth. While working together on marketing agreements, it is important to note that each show will maintain its unique local character.

Introducing the Drycleaning & Laundry Expo: East & West
Moving forward, the organizers have taken a strategic step by reducing the number of live equipment shows from the traditional four during off Clean Show years to just two flagship events: DLExpo East and DLExpo West.
The industry is set to benefit greatly from this collaboration. These shows play a vital role in our field, providing a platform for drycleaners to explore the latest innovations and services tailored to our industry. By streamlining efforts into two major expos, this makes it easier for exhibitors to commit and showcase the best our industry has to offer.
In addition to live equipment exhibits, both expos will feature top-quality educational sessions and unique networking opportunities. These conventions are designed to empower drycleaners with the tools and knowledge needed to run their businesses more efficiently and profitably. With an anticipated increase in attendance, the shows will have greater resources to bring in industry leaders and speakers to share their insights.
By combining the shows into two major events—one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast—the industry is building larger, more dynamic expos with stronger attendance and engagement. The success of the 2024 DL Expo launch, which saw record participation from both attendees and exhibitors, proved this model works. The regional associations are committed to making each Expo an outstanding experience that delivers exceptional value to members and the industry as a whole.
