Events Committee

The Events Committee focuses on ARTA’s educational programs including the Education Conference, The Clean Show, webinars, and other events as available and appropriate. The committee has worked hard to finalize details for ARTA’s Breakfast and Awards and the joint Education Session with ALM, both occurring at the 2025 Clean Show.

The Events Committee has also been hard at work planning for the 2026 Education Conference.
