Four days. Delegations from 35+ countries on-site. And 10,000 Professionals following along online. GBPA 26 at Interclean Amsterdam was everything we hoped it would be — and then some.
A Truly Global Gathering
From April 14 to 17, the heart of the global Professional Textile Care community beat at Amsterdam. The CINET GBPA 26 Convention welcomed delegations from more than 35 countries, bringing together operators, suppliers, national associations, researchers, consultants and innovators under one roof — and one shared ambition: making Smarter PTC services pay off.
Whether you were with us in the room or following the live stream from Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, New Delhi, New York or anywhere else in the world, you were part of something remarkable. Over the four days, some 10,000 professionals joined the GBPA online, making this a true international CINET event.
