Who Should Attend the International Franchise Show?
The International Franchise Show aims to please an audience made up of seasoned franchise industry professionals, people who are ready to take the plunge and become their own bosses, and even those who are still nibbling around the edges of a career change. The event will be held at ExCeL London, which is short for Exhibition Centre London, an exhibition and international convention center in the Royal Docks area of Newham in East London.
The show will allow potential franchisees to connect personally with representatives of international brands, from individual franchisees to CEOs. Diverse franchisors can spell out guidelines for investing in single units as well as master and multi-unit franchises. Industry experts and suppliers will be on hand to offer been-there, done-that advice to attendees. The International Franchise Show presents excellent opportunities for wannabe business owners to find the ideal fit for their aspirations, financial resources, schedules and locations.
So again this year, the International Franchise Show will bring together more than 10,0000 attendees who want to explore new and established brands and also pick the brains of all types of experts (corporate franchise executives, suppliers, franchise consultants, multi- and single-unit franchisees, and more).
Praise for the 2021 International Franchise Show
Industry professionals delivered high praise for the 2021 International Franchise Show. “The way you are able to network with people and follow up those conversations is absolutely one of a kind,” said Priya Sawh, franchising recruitment officer for McDonald’s Restaurants Ltd. “We had a presentation and were able to get across a lot of our information. People also were able to come to our stand and speak with us directly. There were so many of us [McDonald’s franchisors] here that loads of people could be catered to.”
Lee Putner, CEO of Mostro Group Ltd., a mobile pizza service that prepares pizza, cooks it in their ovens and then delivers it, also applauds the International Franchise Show: “For the whole of the last two days, we’ve been packed out on our stand. I cannot believe the number of inquiries we’ve had.”
