Registration is now open for the 2023 Clean Team Exhibit and Conference, April 19-21, at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, Miramar Beach, FL.
“This is the year all Triple S Members MUST attend Clean Team, you are NOT going to want to miss it!” – K. Chow
Our industry is rapidly evolving, and to stay competitive and continue to be successful you need to keep learning. The Clean Team Exhibit and Conference provides the perfect platform to improve your company and yourself professionally.
Networking is a key component of learning and continues to be the #1 reason Members participate in Clean Team. It’s the best place to share ideas, get feedback and connect with other like-minded people in a relaxed environment. Studies prove learning in a new place encourages growth that otherwise would not happen at your office.
Hear From the Experts!
We have a strong, dynamic line-up of speakers and a panel discussion that will help inspire change and keep you fiercely independent. We’ll kick off the conference with a panel discussion on how Members are taking advantage of the changes in today’s market.
Next, coming in from 30,000 feet, Harry Dochelli, Essendant CEO, will share his perspective on the opportunities ahead for independent distribution.
Your company identity is one of the most important factors in shaping your business. Can your team communicate your company’s value? The dynamic sister duo of Kay and Shi took a struggling family business and turned it into 12 successful locations. They can help you and your team maximize your potential!
Is your team making an impact with your customers? Your customers want more than a supplier. They seek partners that know how to impact their business. Do you and your team understand the difference between impact and value? Stacia Skinner from Creative Training Solutions will lead a hands-on workshop to teach you the difference.
The need to come together and be STRONGER TOGETHER has never been more important. Come to Sandestin to BUILD STRONGER NETWORKS, STRONGER CONNECTIONS, and a STRONGER FUTURE for your company.
The conference kicks off Wednesday afternoon with Dan Wagner, VP Strategic Programs, hosting a panel discussion of Members talking about the state of distribution from the perspective of those on the front lines, and how together we can take advantage of today’s market.

1-on-1 meetings are your time to meet with suppliers and develop stronger relationships. We increased the number of meetings this year to twelve to give you more opportunity for meaningful discussion. Look for an email in March for 1-on-1 meeting selections. We’ve made several improvements to get your 1-on-1 meeting schedule to you earlier this year.
Open Trade Show
We’re planning to have over 60 exhibitors at this year’s show, and there will be a lot to see. This is your time to visit with other suppliers and learn about new systems and programs to help your business.
Recreational Activities
Playing together is a great way to build relationships between fellow Members and Suppliers. This year we will be launching the Bruce H. Janvey Memorial Golf Tournament. Two of Bruce’s greatest passions were golf and Triple S. We’re excited to honor his memory by dedicating our annual golf event in his name. Bruce truly enjoyed the camaraderie of being on the course with Members and Suppliers. We’ll be raising funds for the City of Hope in Bruce’s memory.
In addition, we have a Snorkeling Adventure in the Gulf of Mexico, a Deep Sea Fishing Trip, and a Paint and Sip Art Class on the beach.
Welcome Reception We’re going to have some fun networking and breaking the ice at the reception. On this year’s registration you’ll be asked to provide a unique fact about yourself.
Member & Supplier Awards Night We’ll break bread together and celebrate the achievements of the past year by honoring Members and Suppliers who had the most impact on our business. The dress code for this event is semi-formal. Suit jackets for men are encouraged.
Miramar Beach Party Our signature event this year will be our beach party Friday night on the white sand. After a day of great meetings, join us on the beach for a special shindig packed with fun.
