The Heartland Carwash Association (HCA) announced details of its 2027 HCA Product & Equipment Show, which will take place March 23–24, 2027, at the Tinley Park Convention Center in Tinley Park, IL, just 30 minutes from Chicago.
With the theme “Driving the Future of Car Washing,” the 2027 Product & Equipment Show will bring together car wash owners, operators, industry suppliers, manufacturers, and professionals from across the Midwest for two days focused on the ideas, products, technology, and relationships shaping the industry’s future.
The show will center around three key pillars: intelligent equipment, operational excellence, and customer retention.
“Our goal for the 2027 Product & Equipment Show is to create an experience that is valuable from the moment attendees walk through the door,” said Kristen Corbisiero, executive director and publisher of the Heartland Carwash Association. “We want attendees to discover new products and technology, connect with industry experts, build relationships with other car wash professionals, and leave with ideas they can put to work in their businesses.”
The move to the Chicago area provides HCA with a highly accessible location for car wash professionals throughout the Midwest. The Tinley Park Convention Center offers a modern venue with ample exhibit space, while its location near Chicago provides convenient access for attendees and exhibitors traveling from across the region.
The show will feature space for approximately 80 exhibitors. Companies interested in showcasing their products and services to car wash owners and operators throughout the Heartland are encouraged to reserve exhibit space early. A variety of sponsorship opportunities will also be available for companies seeking additional visibility.
