ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

This year's British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) conference will take place on December 3, alongside the Cleaning Excellence Conference and Awards being held at the CBS Arena in Coventry.

The event - which is free to attend - boasts a full day of seminars, networking opportunities and an exhibition.

Presentations start with a focus on The Influence of Social Media on the Cleaning Industry, led by Vikki Morris, environment & sustainability manager at Evans Vanodine. Taking a targeted look at how digital platforms are reshaping the landscape of the industry, the session will explore how social media has transformed cleaning from a behind-the-scenes service into a high-visibility, consumer-driven conversation, highlighting how the rise of cleaning influencers and visual platforms are shaping trends and customer expectations.

The Future of Cleaning is the topic of the presentation by Tibor Killi, managing director of Killis, who will highlight how organisations must prioritise staff engagement, effective change management, long-term value in procurement and reliable service support. His talk will demonstrate that far from replacing people, cobotics are already shaping a more sustainable, efficient, and people-focused future for facilities management.

BICSc technical manager and youth ambassador for Youth Employment UK, Kelsey Hargreaves, will present United by Standards: Elevating Safety and Efficacy in Cleaning Across the Industry. She will share insights from her experience in the cleaning industry, including a range of challenging frontline positions within the NHS and brings extensive experience in site inspections, project management, and overcoming the issues faced in operational cleaning service and particularly training models.

Other sessions include Empowering the Workplace: The Origin Secured Digital Cleaners Licence; Increased Microbial Resistance; Lessons Learnt and Cleaning Up Carbon.
