The TRSA 112th Annual Conference is set to bring together leaders from across the linen, uniform and facility services industry, May 13–15 in Greater Palm Springs, California. This year’s conference will feature an expanded lineup of speakers, educational sessions and networking opportunities, and timely content that reflects emerging trends and member priorities, according to a news release.
“Our Annual Conference is where leaders come together to share ideas, explore solutions and move the industry forward,” said Joseph Ricci, TRSA president and CEO. “We’re excited to offer new experiences and opportunities to bring even more value to attendees.”
