Faculty | Schedule | Registration | Location | Sponsorship | Audio Package | No matter where you look in the franchise industry, you’re seeing fast growth that’s making it an exhilarating space for investing.
New areas continue to emerge -- like food halls, senior services, pet care, childcare, while new technologies promise to cut costs, improve margins, and attract new customers. But some investors worry that the franchise business model is becoming a “bubble.” For proof, they point to how the number of restaurant chains has been growing at a rate double the rate of population growth! And they foresee the possibility of an economic slowdown that could burst the bubble.
The worriers are focusing on the strength of existing units’ operations. They search for evidence that royalty streams will stay strong. And they look for new technologies like kiosk ordering and streamlined apps that keep “need it now” customers engaged.

For example, they’re looking at opportunities to bring overseas franchise companies to the U.S. Above all, they’re looking for ways to differentiate their companies, whether with improved customer service, convenient locations, cutting-edge technology, or something as basic as clean restrooms!
Here are some of the topics that our 20 expert speakers promise to spotlight --
