IDC to help prepare
for market changes
for market changes
“Meeting the Challenge of a Changing
Market” will be the theme of the International
Drycleaners Congress convention
in Frankfurt, Germany, June 8-12.
The IDC convention overlaps with the
Texcare exhibition which takes place in Frankfurt June 6-10. In
addition to attending the trade show, IDC conventioneers will
also be able to participate in a post-convention tour of
Switzerland June 12-20.
The convention itself begins with a
welcome reception on Tuesday, June 8. The formal convention
opening takes place the next morning, featuring a keynote
address by Dr. Josef Kurz of the Hohenstein Institutes on
"Where We Were, Where We Are, Where We Have To
Go."
Tentatively planned topics for the
business sessions that day include “Environmental
Advantages,” “Productivity and Quality” and
“Marketing and Advertising.”
The opening program on Thursday will be
the “State of Our International Industry” in which
representatives from around the world will brief attendees on
changes and trends in the industry in their nations. Fellowship
presentations will follow that program. Younger IDC members who
have traveled internationally will report on what they learned.
The morning will conclude with the IDC General Membership
Meeting. The IDC banquet and entertainment will be held that
evening.
Friday will feature a Rhine River
excursion. The traditional Sayonara Breakfast will close the
program on Saturday morning.
Convention headquarters will be the
Steigenberger Frankfurterhof with additional rooms at the
nearby Miramar Hotel.
Convention registration and
post-convention tour registration can be completed on line at
