The DL Expo West, recognized for its innovative programming and industry-leading events, is set to take place March 27–29, 2026, at the Irving Convention Center in Irving, Texas.
“Our goal is to bring the drycleaning and coin-op community together with the best speakers, educational sessions, equipment and resources available,” said SDA President Fran Stone-Beale and owner of A Town Cleaners, in Abilene, TX. “We are also hosting the DLI Board of Directors, Maverick Drycleaners and the Xplor Spot user groups at the Expo.”
In an effort to maximize attendance, registration for the conference and equipment show will be offered at no cost. To further enrich the experience, the Expo Committee has arranged a plant tour of three leading Dallas-area drycleaners, available for a modest fee.
“The DL Expo West program features some of the industry’s favorite voices as well as fresh new talent,” said Toran Brown, Expo Committee member and owner of Rytina Fine Cleaning, in Sacramento, CA. Highlights include: Ajay Prakash, CEO of Rinse, will speak on “Perspectives on Growth and Innovation for Cleaners of All Sizes,” Bryan Wallace will discuss “Five Trends Driving Growth of WDF & Laundry Delivery,” and Dale Pedzinski of Extract will share “Practical AI in the Dry Cleaning Industry (Without the Hype).” See the full line-up here.
Exhibitors can look forward to a projected audience of more than 900 attendees. Each exhibitor receives an attendee list, Facebook announcements and listing in the February 2026 SDA & CCA Magazines. Booth fees start at $2,675 and there is a 10% discount to exhibit at both the Expo West and East. Prices are 5% off until December 1, 2025 and booths are selling fast, especially prime locations.
