The Cleaning Industry Research Institute announces its upcoming series of Delphi-type seminars. The first of three forums-“The Future of Clean and the Future of Green: Are They Mutually Supportive or Mutually Exclusive?”-will be held at the Georgia Institute of Technology Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia, Feb. 9-11, 2011.

“The Delphi Method is an innovative approach to strategic planning,” explains Jim Harris, Sr., CIRI chairman. “Our past cleaning science symposiums were presentation-oriented. Using Delphi’s interactive format attendee involvement, dialogue and debate will be fostered. Focus will be on cleaning efficacy, health and hygiene implications accruing or absent from green cleaning and the green movement. Experts representing both sides of the issues will be chosen to participate.” www.ciriscience.org.
