Annual Fall Connections Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas, NV and The Spring Connections Conference and Exhibition in Florida.

Twice each year, Connections holds educational and networking events, with a trade show. These three-day events combine informative seminars and workshops with social events and extensive supplier exhibits. These conventions are recognized as the industry's best, providing the attendees with the most up to date information on equipment and cleaning technology as well as business management information. As a member of the NEIRC, a sponsoring association, you can attend either of these events at a special discounted rate. NEIRC members are also eligible for rebates on the price of registration. For more information about Connections, visit www.connectionsconvention.org . For more information on the registration rebate, contact the NEIRC office.

Web Page and Members Web Page

Networking Meetings
Membership in the NEIRC puts you in direct contact with your colleagues in the industry and increases your access to their working knowledge of the cleaning profession. Open communication between members is your greatest tool for profitability and managing your business

Meetings are held throughout New England with all members invited to attend. The meetings often include dinner and are based on a theme presented by a nationally known speaker or instructor, who may be teaching at one of our local distributors. Other meetings may be based around a more locally specific theme, round table discussion, or networking meeting, giving the members a chance to socialize and learn from each other.

NEIRC publishes an annual Membership Directory with each member’s company name, phone/fax number, owner, spouse and partners name, services offered, certifications held and your web site and e-mail addresses.

Schools and Workshops
NEIRC offers approved IICRC certification courses as well as other non-certification schools and workshops for the members on subjects relating to the cleaning industry. Some prior certification courses include "Carpet, Repair and Reinstallation", "Commercial Carpet Cleaning and Maintenance", "Fire Damage Restoration" and "Area and Oriental Rug Cleaning". Other courses include "Making Money and Staying Out of Trouble” and the CRI “Carpet Primer”. All were available for members and their employees at a generous discount from the regular school fees.
