ACI Launches Spark Summit for Cleaning Product Industry

New professional development event debuts June 11-12 in Cincinnati.

The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) has opened registration for the inaugural ACI Spark Summit, a new professional development event designed specifically for early- and mid-career professionals across the cleaning product supply chain. The two-day meeting will take place June 11-12, 2026, in Cincinnati, OH.

Developed to help strengthen the industry’s future talent pipeline, ACI’s Spark Summit is designed to give rising professionals a stronger foundation in the business of cleaning products, a clearer view of the issues shaping the industry and meaningful opportunities to connect with peers and senior leaders.

“As ACI marks its 100th anniversary this year, we’re also focused on the future of this industry and the people who will help lead it,” said Jennifer Abril, ACI president and CEO. “The Spark Summit is different by design. It’s intentionally targeted, highly interactive and focused on helping emerging leaders deepen their understanding of the broader industry landscape, make connections across the value chain and gain practical insights they can carry back into their work and careers.”

Bringing ACI to Members’ Backyards

Cincinnati marks the first stop in a three-year Spark Summit city rotation, reflecting ACI’s commitment to bringing high-value professional development closer to its member companies and their teams. Space is intentionally limited to preserve the small‑group experience that defines the event.

ACI encourages companies to share the opportunity internally with rising professionals who are ready to deepen their industry knowledge, expand their networks, and invest in their long-term career growth.
