IICRC and CIRI Team Up to Build Up Cleaning and Restoration Science
LAS VEGAS – (Oct. 21, 2015) –The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and the Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI) have formed a public trust to develop and disseminate cleaning and restoration science. The collaboration of the leading technical, certification and standards-writing organizations serving the cleaning and restoration industries will begin with a joint technical conference and symposium taking place April 10 – 11, 2016 in Atlanta.

“The first conference I attended as an IICRC Board member was a CIRI Science Symposium,” said IICRC Chairman Tony Wheelwright. “Since then I have worked with CIRI leadership to promote the collaboration between our organizations for the good of the general public. The coupling of our new technical conference which was developed as a companion to our peer-review technical journal, The Journal of Cleaning, Restoration & Inspection, with the CIRI symposium is the realization of that dream.”

“This collaboration joins together two major segments of the cleaning industry: facilities cleaning and disaster restoration-remediation,” said CIRI Chairman Jim Harris. “Each organization has been the leading voice for technical proficiency backed by science in its market. Working together, we will bring even greater synergy and more progress.”

The conference and symposium will be held April 10 – 11, 2016 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center in Atlanta. For agenda and registration information, contact Carole Onweller at Carole@iicrc.org or (740) 616-9633. Those interested in presenting at the conference should contact Steven Spivak at ss60@umd.edu (CIRI) or John Downey at jdowney@iicrc.org (IICRC).
