More than 600 exhibitors will fill the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas when the expo floor at ISSA Show North America opens on Nov. 17. 

For someone who manages cleaning in a hospital, or wants to win that work as a contractor, tracking down the companies that actually serve healthcare can eat up most of a day.

ISSA Healthcare plans to make that search a lot shorter. At this year's show, which runs Nov. 16-19 with exhibits open Nov. 17-19, the division's booth becomes a home base for the healthcare crowd. Sponsor talks, a scavenger hunt, a prize wheel and a networking event are all built into the week.

Linda Lybert, founder and executive director of the Healthcare Surfaces Institute, leads ISSA Healthcare. She pointed out that the show's healthcare audience is a mix of people from healthcare facilities, building service contractors (BSCs) and manufacturers trying to reach that market.

"We decided that what we would do is our booth would become the hub," Lybert said.
