Register for Carwash Con East Today! Early Bird Rates End September 15
The countdown to Atlantic City is on. Carwash Con East returns to the Atlantic City Convention Center October 5 to 7, 2026, and if you have been waiting for the right moment to lock in your spot, this is it. Early bird registration is open now, and the clock is ticking on the best rate of the year.
Here is everything you need to know to register, book your room, and plan your trip before the deadlines pass.
Lock In Your Early Bird Rate Before September 15
One pass gives you three full days of access to everything carwashers need to connect, learn, and network. But the savings do not last forever.
Early bird registration ends September 15, 2026. After that, prices go up. With the carwash market set to grow 5.5% a year over the next decade, falling behind is not an option, and neither is paying more than you have to. Register today and put that difference back into your business.
Why Carwash Con East Is Worth the Trip
This is not just another show on the calendar. Here is what is waiting for you on the floor:
- 420+ exhibits featuring the top suppliers in the industry
- 1,800+ attendees and exhibitors, all in one place
- Unparalleled and expanded education to sharpen your operation
- Networking events open to every attendee, not just a select few
- Intimate, one-on-one vendor interaction you will not get anywhere else
- An affordable host hotel and an easy drive in and out
The products, the people, and the ideas everyone is talking about are all under one roof for three days. That kind of access is hard to find, and even harder to replace.
Book Your Hard Rock Hotel Room Before It Fills Up
Rooms at the Hard Rock go fast, and for good reason. It is the most convenient option, with Jitney shuttle bus access straight to the Convention Center (shuttle service sponsored by DENCAR).

Getting to Atlantic City Is Easier Than You Think
First time heading to Atlantic City? It can feel a little confusing at first, but you have got solid options either way.
- Fly into Atlantic City (ACY): The local airport sits about 12 miles outside the city, roughly a 15 to 20 minute ride to your hotel. Allegiant and Breeze have added new nonstop routes, which makes this an especially easy trip for our Florida carwash crew.
- Fly into Philadelphia (PHL): A larger airport with more options from every major carrier, about a 90 minute drive via the Atlantic City Expressway. Renting a car is usually the simplest way in.
Pro tip: Many attendees fly into Philadelphia and fly home out of Atlantic City. It can be less crowded, sometimes cheaper, and easier on the way back. It is worth checking both options when you book.
Our full travel guide walks you through flights, trains, rideshares, the Jitney, and getting home, step by step.
