What's New

Once again, PWNA co-located with CETA for PowerClean 2024. They are continuing to work together to make the industry stronger.

The Northeast Regional Carwash Convention (NRCC) was initiated by a group of carwash operators from Connecticut who 1988 coordinated a meeting at a New Haven, CT, restaurant adjacent to Yale University, inviting the participation of several other East Coast carwash associations. From that meeting, the NRCC was formed and held its first Convention and Trade Show in 1989 in Newport, RI. The show was devised to benefit Northeast carwash owners/operators who could not attend the national trade show and allow managers and/or staff to attend.

The Heartland Carwash Association's Annual Product and Equipment Industry Trade Show is taking place September 16-18th at The Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The Product Show is a great way to showcase your business to a targeted audience of current and potential carwash owners, operators, and other professionals. If you are looking to sell more products or services, grow your business, and network with other industry executives, the HCA Product Show is the ideal event for your organization.
