About the ISSA
Cleaning & Hygiene Expo
Australasia’s leading event for the cleaning and facility solutions industry, powered by ISSA Oceania & Asia Pacific.
The ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo is Oceania’s largest B2B gathering for the cleaning and hygiene industry. Powered by ISSA, the global association for cleaning and facility solutions, the Expo is a key platform through which ISSA supports, connects, and invests in its business community of more than 11,000 members worldwide.
Held annually and alternating between Melbourne and Sydney, the Expo provides a welcoming platform for industry professionals to come together, share ideas, build connections and do business. Across two days, it delivers innovation, education and meaningful connection to an industry that plays a critical role in elevating the built environment.
More than a trade show, the ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo is a networking event for ideas, collaboration and long-term industry advancement. Through education theatres, thought leadership, product innovation and peer-to-peer engagement, it creates the conversations and relationships that influence business decisions well beyond the show floor.

ISSA Excellence Awards
The ISSA Excellence Awards celebrate the products and solutions genuinely moving the sector forward, across six categories: Small and Large Equipment, Cleaning Agents, Janitorial, Paper and Dispensing, Service and Technology, and Environmental Awareness and Sustainability.
All finalists are displayed in the Innovation Zone throughout the Expo. Winners are announced at a dedicated networking evening that brings the industry together to celebrate and connect. A People’s Choice Award is determined by live show floor voting, with the winner revealed on the final day.
Past winners have included autonomous cleaning robots, biodegradable wipe systems, ATP verification technology and sustainable dispensing solutions, reflecting a consistent preference for practical innovation that solves real problems for real operators.
Networking and Connection
Some of the most valuable outcomes from the Expo happen away from the stage, over breakfast before the doors open, at a demonstration booth, or at the evening awards function. The Expo is designed to bring suppliers and buyers, new entrants and long-standing leaders together in ways that translate into lasting business relationships. Attendees return year after year because the calibre of the people and the conversation is unlike anything else the industry offers.
