The ACI Innovation Showcase, taking place during the 2026 ACI Annual Meeting & Industry Convention, is providing a stage for companies to showcase their cutting-edge and creative new ideas and chemistries to leading cleaning product supply chain representatives.

The showcase will take place Feb. 4 during ACI’s Convention Week, Feb. 2-6, 2026, at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, FL.

The Innovation Showcase – now in its 10th year – provides a window on how creative, forward-looking companies are bringing new ideas and chemistries to market to serve the needs of consumers and customers. Abstract submissions are welcome from ACI member companies, academic institutions and industry partners and innovators supporting the cleaning products space.

There will be two sessions on Feb. 4 at 9:30 am and at 1:30 pm. Up to eight abstracts will be selected for presentation during each of the two 90-minute sessions. Immediately following each session, presenters can choose to participate in a 30-minute audience meet-and-greet. A small table will be provided for each company at which they can further discuss their innovation with interested attendees.

Abstract submissions are due Sept. 19, 2025. Abstract acceptance decisions will be made by mid-October.
