What: Cleaning.Management.Services (CMS)
When: 22 to 25 September 2015, 10.00 to 17.00 hours
Where: Berlin Exhibition Grounds, Germany
Cleaning.Management.Services (CMS) 2015’s Congress will focus on the ‘People and Business’. Leading international cleaning industry executives, including those from Europe, the US, South Africa, India and China, will discuss current aspects of this subject in a global context.
The CMS Congress enjoys the active support of the European Federation of Cleaning Industries (EFCI), the European Cleaning Machines Association (EUnited) and the International Association for Soaps, Detergents and Maintenance Products (AISE).
The Congress’ venue is Marshall-Haus, a listed building on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds, and the proceedings will be translated simultaneously into German, English and French.
‘Papers and panel discussions will seek to identify the available workforce potential and the kind of employees that will be needed in the future,’ states the organiser.
‘The discussions will also investigate whether market requirements, and therefore the demand for services, will change in the foreseeable future, and whether the available workforce potential can cope with this situation.
‘Participants will also discuss the role that is likely to be played by such developments as demographic changes, an increase in pandemics and infections, and the demand for hospital capacity, care facilities and private care services.’
The CMS Congress’ ‘experts’ will also consider the extent to which the market is affected by a shortage of trained specialists; the phenomenon of worldwide feminisation; and youth unemployment in southern Europe.
‘By addressing such highly topical issues the congress ideally supplements the exhibition section of the trade show because, with their product displays, the exhibitors at the CMS 2015 will be presenting solutions, systems and processes intended to meet the needs of the market, notes the organiser.
