NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tennsun -- Cleaning & Cocktails Live, a national industry event for commercial cleaning operators, returns August 19–20, 2025, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee. This year marks the debut of The Deal Bar, a first-of-its-kind matchmaking experience connecting subcontractors directly with leading prime contractors actively seeking new partnerships.

Participating primes include 4M Building Solutions, Marsden Services, KleenMark, SEJ Services, Merchant, Kleen-Tech, Cummins Facility Services, Pinch, Velociti, and Diversified Maintenance – representing a combined annual revenue exceeding $3 billion.

"The Deal Bar isn't about networking – it's about real business," said Ricky Regalado, founder of Cleaning & Cocktails and CEO of Route. "Whether you're looking to expand into new markets or secure your first large contract, this event provides a rare opportunity to sit face-to-face with decision-makers awarding work."

The launch of The Deal Bar also mirrors the vision behind Route Marketplace, a new platform from Route launching later this year, designed to streamline subcontractor-prime connections in the cleaning industry. "This is the first time we're bringing this matchmaking concept to life in person," Regalado added. "The Deal Bar is the live version of what Route Marketplace will enable at scale."

In addition to The Deal Bar, Cleaning & Cocktails Live will feature strategic programming for growth-stage cleaning companies, including sessions on pricing strategy, market expansion, systems optimization, and RFP development. The event opens with a welcome reception on August 19, followed by a full day of panels, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities on August 20.

Tickets and details are available at www.cleaningandcocktails.com. Early registration is encouraged as space for Deal Bar meetings is limited.
