The Laundry Summit - Portland, OR
About this Event
The Laundry Summit comes to Portland — a full day built for laundromat investors, operators, and anyone serious about the business of self-service laundry.
This isn't just a massive trade show. It's an education-first event designed to give you real insight into what's working right now in the industry — from store performance and operational efficiency to financing, marketing, and the technology shaping the next generation of laundromats.
What to expect:
- Expert-led sessions covering store economics, growth strategy, and operational best practices
- Panel discussions with successful operators sharing what's actually moving the needle in their stores
- Live equipment demonstrations featuring the latest commercial laundry technology
- Peer networking with investors, multi-store operators, and industry leaders from across Oregon, Washington, and the greater Northwest
- Q&A time with the people building, financing, and running modern laundromats
Who should attend:
Whether you're exploring your first store, scaling a portfolio, or looking to modernize an existing operation, you'll leave with practical takeaways and connections you can put to work immediately. This is the Northwest's chance to get the kind of industry access that usually requires a flight — all in one day in downtown Portland.
Lunch and refreshments are included. Space is limited — register early to reserve your seat.
Hosted by Laundrylux Distribution, the exclusive North American distributor of Electrolux Professional commercial laundry equipment.
