ICA news
After weeks of careful monitoring of the ongoing spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Board of Directors of International Carwash Association (ICA) today voted unanimously to cancel The Car Wash Show™ 2020, scheduled to be held April 6-8 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. Options for rescheduling the event for later dates are being considered. ICA has been committed to observing the recommendations put forth by public health officials since the beginning of this unprecedented situation. The latest guidance, released by the White House Coronavirus Task Force, broadened the recommendations to consider postponing meetings and limiting attendance for any American. Therefore, the current environment makes it impossible for us to hold a successful event for our attendees and exhibitors.

We are in an employee engagement crisis – and businesses both big and small crave solutions. The truth: people no longer want work to simply provide a paycheck. They crave meaning and a sense of shared purpose. Entrepreneurs often wear many hats, and a “soft” issue like engagement can take a back seat to more critical concerns like payroll and new business efforts. Don’t let it!
